Approximately 100,000 Canadians fought in the Battle of the Somme, which took place from July to November 1916 during World War I. The battle was one of the largest and deadliest of the war, and Canadian troops played a significant role, notably during the later phases, including the capture of Regina Trench. Canadian forces suffered heavy casualties, with over 24,000 soldiers killed or wounded. The battle marked a pivotal moment in Canada's military history, contributing to a growing sense of national identity.
