Canada was the first country to send troops to Britain in 1939. Canadians fought with tragic courage at Honk Kong and Dieppe; with growing strength and confidence in Sicily, Italy and Normandy; and finally provided an entire Army for the liberation of North West Europe. This concise account of an extraordinary national effort is supported by a complete list of infantry and armoured units, photos, and eight colour plates by Canada's most knowledgeable military illustrator.
