Canada in WW1: The Battles of Neuve Chapelle and Kitcheners’ Wood

The First World War kicked off in 1914, but it was not until March of 1915 that Canadians would see their first bit of conflict, albeit in a support role during the Battle of Neuve Chapelle.  A month later, Canadians would see their first real combat, and the realization of how many lives this war would take, when they engaged in the Battle of Kitcheners’ Wood. I hope you enjoy this new series on Canada’s Battles of World War One. E-mail: [email protected] Music by Kevin McLeod
