Canadian Army's Reputation from WWI

The Canadians had proven a fearsome force in the First World War. When the Canadians arrived in England, their fine reputation from the First World War had preceded them. They still looked smart on the parade square. Time magazine described them as a dagger pointed at the heart of Berlin. To experienced military men however, it was quickly apparent that the Canadian Army was badly trained and poorly led.
