Nathan M. Greenfield: "Baptism of Fire: The Second Battle of Ypres and the Forging of Canada, April 1915"

The Second Battle of Ypres pitted the highly trained German soldiers -- armed with the first weapon of mass destruction, chlorine gas -- against the 1st Canadian Division, which had been in the trenches for just over a week. Yet it was the Canadians who ultimately triumphed, stopping the German advance that followed history's first poison-gas attacks. Please join Nathan Greenfield for a dramatic in-the-trenches retelling of Canada's formative battle.
