The Last 100 Days
Far from Home: Canada and the Great War - Part 3
1999 · 1h 30m · N/A Documentary, War
Overview
Canadian military accomplishments in the last hundred days of World War I, when the German Army was destroyed, surpassed those of any other army. The Canadian success was, in no small measure, due to Arthur Currie, whom a recent British historian describes as "the most successful Allied General and one of the least well known."
