Hey it’s that guy from that Sabaton song!
Canadians also have multiple wins against the USA, which is pretty unique.
Have I misjudged them all this time…?
Don’t forget the telephone and also basketball, both vital for the continuance of warfare across this blessed planet
Conspicuously absent from this list are Leo Major and about two thirds of the Geneva Suggestions.
Didn’t Billy Bishop refuse to honour the Christmas Truce?
Canadians had a vendetta against the germans and refused to even acknowledge their humanity on a whole.
Canadians were the recipients of some of the most brutal german assaults, gas attacks and night raids. As well there was a rumour early in the war that the germans crucified a Canadian in no mans land. Since then all bets were off.
Canadian soldiers used to throw tins of food into German trenches during quiet periods then when the calls came for more they would throw grenades instead. Ensuring they killed as many Germans as possible.
Canadians also perfected night stealth raids where they would sneak into German lines and cut the throats of every other man. Leaving the Germans to wake up to their numbers decimated without a sign of the enemy.
At one conference at the Hague the Germans promised to stop using gas weapons if the Canadians agreed to stop using birdshot in their shotguns and the Canadians said no.
Canadians really don’t do war kindly.
you would either enjoy, or have already read, this book.
I think I would! Thank you for the recommendation.
A lot of Canadians refused to honour the Christmas truce.
Canadians, on the whole, really dislike war. So, when it happens, they try really hard to get the whole thing over and done with as soon as possible. None of this pissing about with calling time-outs and such. You’re here to kill each other, so bloody well get on with it.
Garand and sonar? I guess Canadians are masters of ping
One ping only, Vasily, eh?
You forgot about the Geneva Convention/Canadian Military Doctrine Whitepaper.
