Description

This short book by historian and journalist Beckles Willson is in memory to the Canadians who fought during the Great War around Hooge, near Ypres at the Battle of Mont Sorrel in 1916.

The Battle of Mount Sorrel lasted for almost two weeks and cost the Canadians over 8,000 casualties.

Having lost the first two phases of the battle, the Canadians achieved victory in the final operation.

Careful planning and concentrated artillery bombardments had begun to tip the balance on the First World War battlefields in favour of attackers over entrenched defenders.
