In WW2, close to 1,000,000 Canadians and Newfoundlanders served in uniform in defense of this great nation with fatal casualties numbering over 42,000 and 55,000 more injured.

WW1: Canadians saw their first major action of the war at the battle of Ypres on April 22, 1915. In what country is Ypres located?

WW2: What beach were the Canadians responsible for during the June 6, 1944, invasion of France?

Sixteen members of the United Nations, including Canada, would contribute combat forces under United States command to defend this country. More than 26,000 Canadians served in the war and approximately 7,000 continued to serve in the theatre from the Armistice in 1955 to August 1957.
