Canadian Expeditionary Force
A touching commemoration.
The Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) is the designation for
the Canadian forces that served overseas during the First World War. Far from
their homeland, they helped build Canada's international reputation and
contributed to Canada's coming of age as a nation. On the 100th anniversary of
the declaration of the First World War, it is important to pay tribute to the
contributions and sacrifices made by those brave Canadians – lest we forget.
Did you know...
• More than 630,000 men and women from across Canada served as
soldiers, nurses and chaplains during the First World War from 1914 to 1918. Of
those, 424,000 served overseas as part of the CEF.
• In August 1914, a military training camp for the CEF was
erected just north of Quebec City – the site is now known as CFB Valcartier and
is still used today by the Canadian Forces.
• By war's end Canada had raised 260 numbered battalions and 2
named ones, 13 regiments of mounted rifles, 13 railway troop battalions, 5
pioneer battalions and several more ancillary units. someregiments continue to
proudly serve their country today, including Princess Patricia's Canadian Light
Infantry and The Royal 22e Regiment (The Van Doos). The valour of those
who fought in the Battle of Ypres in 1915, the Battle of the Somme in 1916, as
well as Vimy Ridge and Passchendaele in 1917 gave the CEF a reputation for
being a steadfast and resourceful force, and one of the most effective ones on
the Western Front.
• Sadly, nearly one out of every ten Canadians who served
during the First World War never made it home; nearly 60,000 members of the CEF
lost their lives and so many more were wounded during the four-year conflict.
Your beautifully detailed design
