May eternal glory be given to the Canadian soldiers who unreservedly stood in defense of freedom! Greetings from Serbia, which was the first to stand against German imperialism.
As an Australian who does research independently including Aussie soldiers in ww1 i have seen many records where the Aussies were wounded and seperated from their troop found by Canadians who took them back to their own hospitals. Or they found ourdead soldiers which wasmore often the case and buried them on the spot keeping really good coordinates so the bodies could bd retrived later.
Canadians and Australians are colonial brothers. Seeing a dead Australian for Canadians was the same as seeing a dead Canadian, a soldier 1000 of miles from home fighting. Out of all soldiers on the front Australians were the closest to Canadians. An expeditionary force that did not only have European descendants but native people such as the cree, Metis, Maori and others, also french, Belgian, dutch, Irish and Scottish people not just British. I always respected the Australians, in Canada where I live in the library there is an old WW2 photo of a Canadian soldier and an Australian soldier in north africa trading his M50 Reising (a sub machine gun that competed with the Thompson) for the Australian soldiers Owen gun lol.
@@denistardif6650 i agree with you - there is a definite bond between Canadians and Aussies (which potentially is understated in modern times). Knowing a family history is important. My ancestry is primarily Irish and Scottish with a smidgeon of English but as i dig into the family archives I learn about their siblings setting in Canada and on both sides there were marriages with local indigenous at different times. People forget that culturally the Irish are collectivists and from 'clans' and they have from what I've observed - more in common with Indigenous groups than the English. Either way - yes.. and I imagine if the Aussies found a dead canadian it would be like finding a brother. I respect them because they didn't just treat out dead well, they also rescued some that were severely injured and treated them at their own medical centres before transferring them at a later date.
@@thevocalcrone agreed, my family is french, Metis and Mi'kmaq of the east coast, Mi'kmaq are the ones who started the legend of the Wendigo. They married the Acadians who settled nova Scotia, my ancestors, Irish, Scottish, Welsh and in general British later joined our family in new Brunswick after the beaver wars and were not deported for this. Most Australians and Canadians have so many mixed ancestries we can only really be called Canadians or Australians and out if the entire world, Australia and the kiwis are the only people who can truly understand this it is not about were you once were from but we're you are know long live Australia, tazmania and New Zealand.
Canada in WW2 provided a full Group No 6 for Bomber Command and paid for it. Magnificent and magnanimous. 6 Group operated from my part of Yorkshire where the Canadians are always special.
Do you know what is really sad in 2024? Nobody cares anymore. Nuff to make you weep for the fallen/ the survivors/ the soldiers that have all died in faith that they would be remembered. As a race ( everybody) it is a true failing. We shall all pay for this disregard for heroes, big and small.
Good documentary. However, compared to the WW1 documentaries such as the "King and Empire" series, I prefer the latter. It's more boots on the ground with the narrator explaining things right there on the battlefield. This is interspersed with archival footage. It's more immersive which I appreciate.

Dude the Canadians have been in every war fighting for the British except 1812. They fought n served in both world war 1 & 2 and very distinguished to say fact . I'm mexikano but my respects to the canadians😊they have tenates bolas huevos balls of steel
@@JoseR.L-b5g Was simply trolling hoping to get some pissed off Canadian to respond. Canadians have served with distinction every place they ever fought. ( wife is Canadian , kids have dual citizenship)
Yes. As an Australian read my comments. They were responsible for saving the lives of many of our fallen and helping us retrieve bodies. I've seen the paperwork I'm sure they did much more as well
Well you got me man till I read the troll part 😂 and canada did fight in the war of 1812 on the British side. America tried invading us through the niagra falls then we uno reversed and went not a bad idea. Obviously not canada alone as British troops and support were coming in to

Thanks brother. My G-G Grandpa served at Vimy and Paschendale.
