    Young readers will discover Canada’s part in the first great worldwide conflict. They will learn about life in the trenches, the first tanks, u-boats and convoys, aces and dog fights, machine guns and cavalry charges, gas warfare, as well as the drastic changes in women’s roles.

  • The Railways

    Discovering Canada: The Railways
