During the 20th century, two generations of Canadians crossed the Atlantic to come to the defence of threatened democracy in Europe. These soldiers distinguished themselves, during the First World War at Vimy, and during the Second at Dieppe, in Sicily, in Normandy and later in Holland. Richly illustrated, this book recounts the heroic contribution of the Canadians to the liberation of Europe.
