How many Canadian soldiers fought in World War 1?

Answer 1

According to the Canadian Military Heritage Project, approximately 32,000 men initially assembled September 04, 1914 at Valcartier, Quebec as a response to England's acceptance of help."During this monumental conflict, 619,636 served for Canada and over 66,000 gave their lives."

Canada bought her place at the table when the treaty was being written, thru the blood of her soldiers. This was Canada's " War of Recognition and Independence ". After the end of World war One Canada no longer had to ask Britain for permission to act as a nation. It had won that right thru it's war record.

Answer 2

About 64,944 Canadians were killed in World War 1.

Canada, from the day Britain declared war, committed over 600,000 troops to the war effort. Their hard earned reputation as formidable shock troops was paid for in blood, as the British High Command drew fire from the home front over their gross misuse of Canadian boys in their campaigns. Of the 600,000 Canadians who fought, one forth were injured, and one in ten were killed.

Depending on sources and what you use, the number of Canadians killed in WW1 range from 60 000 to 70 000. The 70 000 includes the Newfoundlanders and those soldiers who died shortly after the war from their wounds, which totalled nearly by 1921, 10 000.
