LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE MAPLE LEAF
Thanks for your tribute to Canadians in Afhganistan. Thanks also for your discussion on the second battle of Ypres. Some other points on that battle. The Canadians not only held their lines they also held the lines of their allies to the right and their left who abandoned their lines in the face of the same gas attack, without gas masks. Had the Germans broken the line they may have been able to turn the allies' flank and may have won the war. The British General in charge said that he was invisioning the darkest day in the history of the BEF (British Expeditiary Force)unitil he heard the Canadians had held.
