Summary
The grief and the glory of the war was felt by virtually every Canadian family, leaving a legacy of stories that are still being passed on today. Scarcely more than a British colony, with a population of less that eight million, between 1914-1918 Canada mobilized 590,000 citizens for war, sending 325,000 overseas to fight. The Great War epic battle re-enactments bring to life the five major Canadian battles of the war: St. Julien, Beaumont-Hamel, Courcelette, Vimy and Passchendaele
