Historian, Norm Christie, examines the old battlefields, visiting the cemeteries and memorials that hold the secrets to the legacy and sacrifices of the Canadians in the Battles of Mount Sorrel and Hill 70. These two battles cost Canada 5,000 dead, but few remember what their names. They were two vital battles that contributed to the ongoing development of the Canadian Corps.

Vimy AND Paschendaele were both withdrawn from rather quickly after capture. Rationalize the front line … and the real point, to make Germans die at a faster rate than our own. That is called being a victim.
The older I get the more I am fascinated by the First World War. Thanks.
well done ..very informative and respectful
Canada needs strong men again.. not cross dressing transgender tic toc dancing trudeau supporters.
I'm here 13-miles as the crow flies from Vimy Ridge.
This documentary was brilliant.
Thank you for sharing
🤗🙏🇺🇲🎖️🎖️
I love this video. Arthur Currie had a mantra: neglect nothing
A very well told story about some extraordinary Canadian soldiers. I'm glad I caught this vid.
I have no ties to the First World War, no family killed there but documentaries like this bring me to tears. Such a useless waste of human life. For what?
Thanks for the great story
"Canadians the greatest fighting force on the western front"? Jingoism does not rewrite historical fact.
The headstones seem so close…are these gallant lads buried shoulder to shoulder in a mass grave formation? Great documentary by the way…i always heard about the carnage of the line defending Ypres. Brave souls RIP
If it wasn't for Canada and America the English would be speaking German Time after time we have to bail their inept loud mouths out
Thank you Canada, for your help in both world wars.
Great story of brave Canadians !
Did you forget the millions of English Scottish Irish????
US has started every war over lies. Something yall want learn in the edjewcational system of America!
We owe such an enormous debt to our veterans fighting all the wars against tyranny!! Not to judge anyone but we should be living lives worthy of their sacrifice!
If only you pronounced Ypres properly i might have taken you seriously , why should i take anything you say as fact when you dont do the basic research into its name despite being in the Town .
