What battles did the 1944 Canadian conscripts fight?

Answer 1

Those who were conscripted were allowed to choose if they would volunteer to fight, or to "stay in Canada " . This was the choice given by the Liberal party Prime Minister, McKenzie King, as a way to placate the Quebecers who didn't want to actually take the chance of being killed in action in Europe, but who wanted the pay and meals that the Canadian Army would be forced to provide to them. The "Zombies " as they were called by the Canadian soldiers who HAD volunteered to fight and die overseas, sat on their asses in comfortable camps in Canada, taking up food and equipment that was sorely needed in Italy and later in France and Belgium and Holland. The Zombies were "asked " every week, by their Officers, if they would sign an agreement to "serve outside of Canada " but only about 5 percent of them actually ever did so. They were sent out as re-inforcements to various Canadian Army units, in small numbers, never more than 10 or 20 at a time. So to answer the question, the small number of Canadians, mostly from Quebec, who were " conscripted " and who actually got to the front line fighting, were a tiny minority of the overall numbers in the Canadian Army in WW2.
