About this listen

 Join us for Part Two of our captivating exploration of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces remarkable journey during the final 100 days of the First World War. After nearly four years of grueling trench warfare, the Allied Forces launched a bold strategy to breach the German Hindenburg Line and reclaim territory. In this episode, we delve into the pivotal battle at Arras, following the brave men and women of Canada as they move from the hard-fought victory at Amiens (Part I) toward the next crucial confrontations at Cambrai (Part III) and the final pursuit of German forces from Valenciennes to Mons (Part IV) in Belgium, marking the end of a brutal conflict that began on August 4, 1914, and concluded on November 11, 1918. (Summary by Richard Laughton.)
