It describes how Canada, initially a non-military nation, quickly organized a large Expeditionary Force and transported troops to Europe, where they would face the horrors of trench warfare. The narrative captures the urgency and patriotic spirit that propelled thousands of Canadians from diverse backgrounds to enlist and fight for their Empire, despite lacking prior military experience.
