		A group of Canadian lawyers raised concerns last spring about the agreement, citing Afghanistan's spotty human rights record and raising the possibility that soldiers could be prosecuted as war criminals if a prisoner they handed over was tortured.

		In its public relations campaign, the Army stresses the positive aspects of serving in the Women’s Corps, highlighting its members’ professional activities, their confidence and charm.
		The creation of the Canadian Women’s Army Corps in 1941 was the result of two factors: the realization that the Army would sooner or later need more workers; and the pressure exerted on the federal government by Canadian women, eager to join the Armed Forces.
		Recruiting criteria were strict: recruits had to be British subjects (as were Canadians then), aged between 18 and 45 and single, with no dependants; they should have completed Grade Eight, weigh at least 105 pounds (47.6 kg), be at least 5 feet tall (1.5 m) and in excellent health.

	Osprey - The Canadian Army
		The small Canadian Army of 1939 had a good core of young Regular officers thanks to the Royal Military College in Kingston (Ontario), and some of the older officers were Great War veterans.
		The army overseas was divided into two distinct elements for most of the period 1943–45: I Canadian Corps in Sicily and Italy from July 1943, and II Canadian Corps in NW Europe from June 1944.
		It is also well attested that the murder of Canadian wounded by the Waffen-SS 12th Panzer Division ‘Hitlerjugend’ on 8 June lent a particular bitterness to their continuing encounters with that division in the bocage fighting – the ‘Hitlerjugend’ had been virtually wiped out by the time the Canadians finally took Caen four weeks later.

	Canadian Dimension / Articles / War in Afghanistan can’t be won, Russian veterans warn Canada (Mathew Fisher)
		Like a surprisingly large number of the former Soviet Union’s 620,000 Afghan war vets, the burly ex-paratrooper is aware the Canadian army is now fighting some of the very same mujahideen and their progeny for control of the same unforgiving, arid landscape.
		A bloody lesson Soviet and now Canadian troops have learned is Afghan fighters travel lightly, often relying on hidden caches of weapons such as land mines and rocket-propelled grenades that are as lethal or more lethal than the much more elaborate and costly weapons systems that foreign armies bring with them.
		Given the Red Army’s agonies in Afghanistan, Kirjushin, the airborne sergeant who spent most of his time there on the front lines, was perplexed about what Canada hoped to achieve in that faraway place.
