At about ten o'clock on the evening of Tuesday, August 4, 1914, the Honourable Colonel Sam Hughes, Minister of Militia for Canada, climbed on a chair in the mess of the Governor General's Footguards in Ottawa and announced that Great Britain was at war with Germany. With this action, Canada went to war for the next four years. More than six hundred thousand Canadians were to take part in the Great War and more than sixty thousand of them would not return. All of them, the living and the dead, are to us now men of another age. What were they like? How did they go? In this gripping series of seventeen programs, you will hear the answers in their own voices. You will also hear first hand accounts of the famous batles like Vimy Ridge, the Somme, Arras, Amiens, Passchendaele and follow Canada's coming of age in the air, on land and in the sea.

SIMPLY GREAT!!!, October 5, 2009
Review By:LOUIS A. TARONE II A fantastic collection! Hearing WWI vets themselves explain in detail what they saw, what they experienced is an amazing thing. Production quality is simply great. You have to hear this, regardless of on which side of the 49th parallel you live. Superb!, April 26, 2007
Review By:Ian Macdonald This is an amazing collection in the words of the veteran's themselves. Many of their quotes have appeard in books and I can't recommend this enough. Narrated by a young Christopher Plummer.
