I've never heard them referred to as the Canadian Expeditionary Forces during WW2. Maybe that was used in WW1.The first use of Canadian forces was during the Dieppe raid, which was a failure. There were not a large amount of Canadian troops in this raid. The Canadians first saw combat in Italy. The largest battle that the Canadians participated in was Ortona.
