		Reproduced below is the text of an appeal issued by Sir Arthur Currie to the Canadian Corps he commanded in April 1918.
		In his appeal Currie stated that the fate of the British Empire was currently in the balance on account of the German-launched offensive along the Lys valley; consequently he called upon his men - about to enter the battle - to fight ever harder to defeat German forces presently in the ascendant.
		Intended by Erich Ludendorff as a means of weakening and confusing the Allies the German attack along the Lys valley, launched on 9 April 1918, attained such startlingly effective initial results that Ludendorff took the decision to convert the effort into a full-scale offensive against British forces stationed there.

		Sir Arthur William Currie (1875-1933): For those who don't know the name, and there are many, many Canadians who do not, Currie commanded the Canadian Corps from mid-1917 to the end of the First World War.
		Currie's greatest strength and greatest flaw was he was not at all diplomatic.
		Currie had sued the first paper to run the allegations in 1927 (first made by controversial Canadian soldier-politician Sam Hughes, who disliked Currie because he had passed over his son for promotion, among other things, and who by that stage of his life was, in retrospect, quite mad).

		On one occasion, Currie was the final speaker in a closely fought debate and was allowed 5 minutes to conclude his team's argument.
		But Currie knew that under a strict interpretation of the rules he could finish his sentence before sitting down.
		So he left the stage and slowly circumambulated the auditorium before returning, finally, to his seat, with 'slow, short, and deliberate steps' and 'shooting arguments like bullets.' He concluded his last point at the very moment his posterior was reunited with the chair.
