Canada and the First World War

When Brittan declared war on Germany in 1914, Canada went to War too. “It is our duty to let Great Britain know and to let the friends and foes of Great Britain know that there is in Canada but one mind and one heart and that all Canadians are behind the Mother Country." -Prime Minister Robert Borden
