How many troops did Canada send to World War 1?

Answer 1

Canada made a major contribution, both at home and abroad during WWI: * 600.000 Troops joined the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF). * American Indians or First Nation troops as Canada prefers to call its indigenous population had a 35 percent volunteer rate providing 3,500 men (notable because First Nations peoples are exempt by law from conscription). * Canada with the help of Glen Curtiss of the US trained the majority of the UK's aviators. * Canadian industry was the major supplier of munitions for the early war effort. * Canada's heavy Mennonite population exempt on religious grounds from military service, provided a very large number of litter bearers and non-combatant troops for service. * Canada's Nursing Sisters provided much of the health care needs for the Allied forces. * 70 Canadians were awarded the Victoria Cross in WWI. Yes, Canada was in the war to end all wars.

More than 620,000 Canadians served in the First World War. Of these, roughly 67,000 died and more than 170,000 were wounded. These are disproportionately high numbers, considering Canada was only a nation of 7 million at the time. For more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_of_Canada_during_World_War_I
