Join us for Part Two of our captivating four-part series that chronicles the remarkable actions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the final 100 days of the First World War. After nearly four years of grueling trench warfare, the Allied Forces sought to shatter the German Hindenburg Line and reclaim the battlefield. In this episode, we follow the valiant men and women of the CEF as they advance through Arras, continuing their journey from Amiens (Part I) and paving the way towards Cambrai (Part III) and the relentless pursuit of German forces from Valenciennes to Mons (Part IV), the very site where the war began on August 4, 1914, culminating on November 11, 1918.
