Took a tour of the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa this morning. Very impressive and even more impressive is to see the contribution that Canada has made over the years in stopping dictators and tyrants and keeping world peace.Did You Know?
There has not been a war on Canadian soil since the War of 1812.
A Canadian, Dr. John McCrae, penned the poignant poem, In Flanders Fields, during the First World War. Today, the poppy is a lasting symbol of remembrance.
In the First World War, the Canadian Corps fought as a national unit for the first time at Vimy Ridge, winning a great victory and a reputation for bravery.
You can see a life-size diorama of a typical First World War trench at the Canadian War Museum.
During the Second World War, Canada raised armed forces of over one million men and women out of a population of only 12 million.
Lots of displays to see including equipment and such of which I can only post but a few photographs.
