    I’m not disputing your claims, but I would like to read more on this. Your comment reads as though you’ve read up on this and as a Canadian, I’d love if you have some links or sources I could peruse.

    You see, I’m approaching 37 and I’m realizing it’s time to really get into war histories or I need to go get a smoker soon.

      Certainly! A lot of this is old knowledge that’s been rattling around in my head from old books and lessons I’ve taken.

      To start here’s a wiki link to summarize the Crucified Soldier.

      Here’s a link to an article by The National discussinf Canadian and German relations leading to Canadian brutality.

      As well a short wiki article talking about trench raiding, namely referencing a book about Canadians in the bibliography section.

      Alrernatively, here’s a link from the Canadian Legion talking about Canada developing night raiding as a tactic on the modern battlefield.

      I could probably dredge up some other information if you’d like but I think these are a nice starting point. From there it should be easy to make your own searches or narrow down your interests. I hope this helps.
