	World War I (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Canadians were spared the early battles of the SOMME in summer 1916, though a separate Newfoundland force, 1st Newfoundland Regiment, was annihilated at Beaumont Hamel on the disastrous first day, July 1.
		While most of those forces were with the Canadian Corps or with a separate Canadian cavalry brigade on the Western Front, Canadians could be found almost everywhere in the Allied war effort.
		In 1917 the ROYAL FLYING CORPS opened schools in Canada, and by war's end almost a quarter of the pilots in the Royal Air Force were Canadians.

	Canadian Firefighters In Britain WW II
		The Corps of Canadian Fire Fighters was formed subsequent to a visit to Britain in the summer of 1941 by the Rt.
		It was decided that the corps should be truly representative of all parts of Canada and with this thought in mind, the commanding officer asked his brother fire chiefs from coast to coast for aid in enrolling the personnel.
		The corps is unique in that, for the first time in history, a group of professional firemen has left its own country and volunteered to operate, in its own profession, in a theatre of war.

	Royal Canadian Armoured Corps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Royal Canadian Armoured Corps (RCAC) is the armoured branch of service of the Canadian Forces Land Force Command (Canadian Army), including regular force and militia regiments.
		The corps was formed in 1940 as the Canadian Armoured Corps, but claimed lineage from the Canadian Tank Corps of the First World War.
		Many Canadian armoured regiments have a long cavalry tradition.

	RCASC Brief History
		Despite constant warnings that the Canadian Militia could not deploy to the field and support itself, it took the threat of war with the United States due to the Venezuela Scare of 1895 and the outbreak of the Boer War in 1899 to finally convince the Government of Canada to form support forces.
		Corps Troops were formed in September 1915 when the 2nd Canadian Division arrived and the Canadian Corps was formed.
		The 1st Canadian Army Catering Corps, Group "A" arrived to control catering, operate the Canadian military hotels and rest areas and to co-ordinate the work of the two RASC Field Bakeries that were attached to them.

	Juno Beach Centre - The Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps
		In February of that year another corps, the Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, was created to maintain all mechanical, electrical, and technical equipment, including all tanks and other fighting vehicles.
		Canadian government policy was to equip the army, as far as possible, with Canadian manufactured goods.
		Before 1939 Canadian capacity for manufacturing munitions was virtually nil, but by the war's end important installations like the Dominion Arsenals at Quebec and Valcartier, the Lindsay Arsenal, the Respirator Container Assembly Plant in Ottawa, and the Long Branch Arsenal near Toronto were producing much of the military equipment required by the Canadian Army.

	Buttons
		Corps or Regimental buttons may also have been used in World War Two on Field Service Caps, Coloured FS Caps, Service Dress Caps, and greatcoats, in addition to Service Dress Jackets.
		Some of the buttons illustrated here appear to have a "Queen's Crown" (in other words, may appear to be postwar in manufacture, as most badges were changed in or after 1953 to reflect the ascention to the throne of a new reigning monarch).
		Given the late date of the formation of the corps, and the order prohibiting corps/regimental buttons, it is unlikely any button existed until after 1945.

		Canadians were frustrated by the attitude of many British military men that their colonial cousins did not possess the necessary experience and expertise to lead troops in the heat of battle.
		Canadian 'sappers' (soldiers who dug trenches and tunnels) ignited a huge explosion at the base of the Ridge.
		The capture of the strategic high ground of Vimy Ridge by the Canadian Corps was a major factor in turning the tide for the Allies.

	Battle of Amiens & General A. W. Currie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		On April 9, 1917, the Canadian Corps, consisting of four infantry divisions numbering almost one hundred thousand, captured an important tactical landmark in northern France known as Vimy Ridge.This was a great achievement as the Germans during the previous two years had already repulsed several Allied attempts to seize the ridge.
		During the hundred days which followed the Canadian Corps’ initial and speedy penetration of the German line, the Corps, under Currie’s command, had liberated 500 square miles of territory containing 228 cities, towns, and villages and captured 31,000 prisoners, 590 heavy and field guns and thousands of machine guns and trench mortars.
		By nightfall on the first day of the battle of Amiens, the Canadian Corps’ penetration of the enemy line was unequalled: no other engagement on the Western Front up to that time had achieved this kind of success as the result of a single day’s fighting.

	Surviving Trench Warfare: Technology and the Canadian Corps, 1914-1918. by Geoffrey Hayes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The tactics taught to the soldiers were simple: 'the detachments detailed for the assault were expected to leave their trenches at the same time and reach their objective without firing a shot.' A final mass rush would begin as the heavily laden troops closed on the enemy parapets.
		Where cavalry and mounted rifle brigades were listed prominently under the Army Corps Headquarters in 1915, the same headquarters three years later boasted literally dozens of siege, heavy, and anti-aircraft batteries, not to mention two motorized machine-gun brigades.
		As Rawling puts it, 'the Canadian Corps was less a glorious institution of soldiery than a gathering of technicians' (223).
