Journey of century-old chair carved by WW I Quebec prisoner ends at war museum
Very few archival items exist from Canada's First World War internment camps. But now, the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa is adding a hand-carved wooden chair to its collection thanks to a B.C. woman who got curious about its origins and reached out to CBC Montreal for help last year.

⚔️ BATTLE OF VIMY RIDGE - APRIL 9, 1917 ⚔️

On this day in 1917, Canadian Corps forces launched a daring assault on the heavily fortified Vimy Ridge in northern France. Against relentless German machine-gun fire and artillery barrages, the Canadians captured the entire ridge in just three days—a stunning victory that became a defining moment in Canadian national identity.

The battle showcased innovative tactics: creeping barrages, detailed reconnaissance, and coordinated infantry-artillery cooperation that would influence future WWI operations. Over 3,500 Canadian soldiers made the ultimate sacrifice.

Many have heard of the WWII Navajo Code Talkers. I was not aware that there was a group of WWI Choctaw Code Talkers. There are some good backstories in this.

Code Talkers - Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma

They served, they sacrificed, 19 young Choctaw soldiers were the first to use their native language to confuse the enemy, making a marked difference in the outcome of World War I.
