"It was the first time that all 4 divisions of the Canadian Corps fought together.
It was Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific on parade.
I thought then that in those few minutes I witnessed the birth of a nation."
- General AE Ross

They shall not grow old,
As we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them,
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning,

We Shall Remember Them.
