  • Canadian Great War Homepage--It is not my intention to tell the entire story of World War 1, but to provide the visitor with an overview of Canada's role in this terrible conflict which cost the lives of more than 56,500 Canadian soldiers.
  • Life in the Trenches--After the Battle of the Marne in September, 1914, the Germans were forced to retreat to the River Aisne. The German commander, General von Falkenhayn, decided that his troops must at all costs hold onto those parts of France and Belgium that Germany still occupied. Falkenhayn ordered his men to dig trenches that would provide them with protection from the advancing French and British troops. The Allies soon realized that they could not break through this line and they also began to dig trenches. This site gives the reader a good look at what it would be like to live in the front line trenches.
  • The First World War--The International Internet Encyclopedia of the First World War is being created by teachers and students from several different countries. Each entry includes several pages of narrative, illustrations, and links to other relevant websites. The strategy is to look at the international, the national and the local dimension of the conflict. By the middle of 1998 we hope to have over two thousand pages of information in the encyclopedia.
