from Canadas Hundred Days The Battle of Amiens · host John Frederick Bligh Livesay

Join us as we delve into the remarkable story of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the final 100 days of the First World War. As the war had reached a near stalemate after four long years, the Allied Forces devised a daring plan to break through the formidable German Hindenburg Line and reclaim lost ground. This episode follows the courageous actions of the CEF as they capture strategic locations such as Amiens, Arras, and Cambrai, ultimately pursuing the German forces from Valenciennes to Mons—where the conflict first ignited on August 4, 1914. Experience the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought until the very end on November 11, 1918. Summary by Richard Laughton.
