In his new book, historian Tim Cook has unearthed evidence that Canadian doctors were part of a British program that harvested organs from slain First World War soldiers, without consent.

Canadian troops stand ready to repel a German attack on the trenches. One soldier keeps a look out using a periscope to see over edge of the trench. Around 650,000 Canadian soldiers fought in WW1.

All four Canadian divisions advanced side-by-side for the first time in the war in a single attack on April 9, with over 15,000 Canadian soldiers advancing under the cover of artillery fire.

The service of Chinese Canadian soldiers like Chao in the First and Second World Wars will be honoured by a new exhibition at the Chinese Canadian Museum in Vancouver’s Chinatown.
