[edit] Out of the Trenches
How the Canadian Corps became the 'shock troops' of the British Army
Drawing on interviews, diaries, memoirs and personal papers, Bill Rawling wrote this brilliant account of the Canadian Corps for the University of Toronto Press in 1992. He reveals how the tiny pre-war Canadian army evolved into the most efficient military machine on the western front, an elite corps used to spearhead the most important offensives launched by the British army in 1917-18. British and Canadian soldiers faced the most appalling conditions in four years of trench warfare, but they developed the weapons and tactics to punch clean through the German defences in the summer of 1918. This is their story: not the hackneyed image of static trench warfare, but how soldiers fought and overcame their enemy despite the fearful obstacles of gas, barbed wire and machine-guns.
