Aren't they on the same island?

True. But then again the fact that they live on the same island does not make them english. For example, I'm canadian but I dont very strongly identify to canadian that live outside Quebec since most of them dont even understand me when I speak 'cause I use a 'secret' code (ie : french). Every one has a little something that make them stand out and identify to a smaller group than a nation wide identity.
T'was a very classy act from the group commander.

After a bit of research, it appear that the boy uniform might have been something similar to the uniform worn by some highlander regiment during ww1 (namely the 48th highland regiment and/or the 41st calgary highlander, in fact most highlanders regiment have a kilt in their parade dress). The kilt was not deemed a suitable battle dress during ww2.

http://www.calgaryhighlanders.com/traditions/regimentaldress/fulldress.htm
They were kept as traditional parade dress. The sacrifice made by the soldiers of WW1, tough further away in time from us, must not be forgotten. They battled in harsh condition and many were lost and were never heard of again. I once heard in a tv show about the great battles of WW1 that farmers in France found their lands, being former battlefields, more fertile after the war. They were enriched by the blood spilled there by our proud soldiers...
Canadian fought and died for the first time as former colony suporting the allies in Ypres, western Belgium, between april 22nd and may 25th 1915, in the 2nd battle of Ypres. It was in the aftermath of this battle that Canadian physician and Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae is popularly believed to have written the poem In Flanders Fields on may 3rd, 1915, after he witnessed the death of his friend, Lieutenant Alexis Helmer, 22 years old, the day before. It goes like this :
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
This poem is what gave birth to the emblem of the rememberance day also known as Poppy day.
Sad to know that most of these soldiers are now only a name written on a monument somewhere in europe. Most of wich our kids dont even know the meaning of...
Our freedom we so arrogantly hold for our birth right have a price in blood.

Anybody got any good factual links or books worth reading?

The only time i really hear anything about Canadians and war is F@I War, Rev War, and WWI. Having to say that you are right, they are overlooked as for many of allied nation. I will :salute or shake hand for any allied nation for their bravery and sacrifice for their country and ours.

The reason i did not bring it up is as to what wildcat said: "they are overlooked". I need to look more with their actively in WWII as i am sure they play a huge role in the PTO and ETO/MTO.

taken from wikipedia. I know, I know it's not always reliable but it's good enough :
Canada's military was active in every theatre of war, though most battles occurred in Italy,[5] Northern Europe,[6] and the North Atlantic.
Over the course of the war, 1.1 million Canadians served in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Of these more than 45,000 lost their lives and another 54,000 were wounded.[7] The financial cost was $21,786,077,519.12, between the 1939 and 1950 fiscal years.[8] By the end of the War, Canada had the world's fourth largest air force,[9] and third largest navy.[10] As well, the Canadian Merchant Navy completed over 25,000 voyages across the Atlantic.[11] Canadians also served in the militaries of various Allied countries.
By D-Day, June 6, 1944, the landings at Normandy were accomplished by two beachheads made by the American forces at Omaha and Utah, two by British forces, Sword and Gold, and a final one at Juno made by the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division.
The war had significant cultural, political and economic effects on Canada, including the conscription crisis which affected unity between Canadian francophones and anglophones. However, the war effort not only strengthened the Canadian economy but further established Canada as a major actor on the world stage.[
Between the fall of France in June 1940 and the German invasion of the USSR in June 1941, Canada supplied Britain with urgently needed food, weapons, and war materials by naval convoys and airlifts, as well as pilots and planes who fought in the Battle of Britain and the Blitz. If the planned German invasion of Britain had taken place in 1941, units of the formation later known as I Canadian Corps were already deployed between the English Channel and London to meet them.
Canada was the primary location of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, the largest air force training program in history. 131,553 air force personnel, including 49,808 pilots, were trained at airbases in Canada from October 1940 to March 1945.[17] More than half of the BCAT graduates were Canadians who went on to serve with the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and Royal Air Force (RAF). One out of the six RAF Bomber Command groups flying in Europe was Canadian.
Squadrons of the RCAF and individual Canadian pilots flying with the British RAF fought with distinction in Spitfire and Hurricane fighters during the Battle of Britain. By January 1, 1943, there were enough RCAF bombers and crews in Britain to form No. 6 Group, one of eight bomber groups within RAF Bomber Command.
Early in the war, Japanese troops invaded the Aleutian Islands. Canadian air force planes flew anti-submarine patrols against the Japanese while on land, Canadian troops fought side by side with American troops against the Japanese. Eventually, the Japanese were repulsed.
The Dieppe Raid (Operation Jubilee) of August 19, 1942, landed nearly 5,000 soldiers of the Second Canadian Division and 1,000 British commandos on the coast of occupied France, in the only major combined forces assault on France prior to the Normandy invasion of June 1944. Despite air support from Allied fighters and bombers and a naval fleet of 237 ships and landing barges, the raid was a disaster. While Dieppe did provide valuable information on the absolute necessity of close communications in combined operations, of nearly 6,000 troops (composed mainly of Canadians) landed over a thousand were killed and another 2,340 were captured. Two Canadians were recognized with the Victoria Cross for actions at Dieppe; Lieutenant Colonel "Cec" Merritt of the South Saskatchewan Regiment and Honorary Captain John Foote of the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry. The value of the Dieppe Raid is a matter of some controversy; some historians feel that it was largely because of Dieppe that the Allies decided not to attempt an assault on a seaport in their first invasion of occupied western Europe, others would point to the large number of amphibious operations before and after Dieppe as evidence that nothing new was learned there.
While Canadians served at sea, in the air, and in small numbers attached to Allied formations and independently, the invasion of Sicily was the first full scale combat engagement by full Canadian divisions since World War I. Canadian soldiers went ashore in 1943 in the Allied invasions of Sicily and mainland Italy, then fought through the long Italian Campaign. During the course of the Italian Campaign, over 25,000 Canadian soldiers became casualties of war.
The 1st Canadian Division and the 1st Canadian Tank Brigade took part in the Allied invasion of Sicily in Operation Husky, 10 July 1943 and also the Allied invasion of mainland Italy on September 3, 1943. Canadian participation in the Sicily and Italy campaigns were made possible after the government decided to break up the First Canadian Army, sitting idle in Britain. Public pressure for Canadian troops to begin fighting forced a move before the awaited invasion of north-eastern Europe.[21] Troops fought on through the long and difficult Italian campaign until redeployed to North-West Europe in February–March 1945 during Operation Goldflake. By this time the Canadian contribution to the Italian theatre had grown to include I Canadian Corps headquarters, the 1st Division, 5th Canadian (Armoured) Division and an independent armoured brigade. Three Victoria Crosses were awarded to Canadian Army troops in Italy; Captain Paul Triquet of the Royal 22e Régiment, Private Smokey Smith of The Seaforth Highlanders of Canada, and Major John Mahoney of The Westminster Regiment (Motor). Notable battles in Italy included The Moro River Campaign, the Battle of Ortona and the battles to break the Hitler Line.
The political astuteness of Brad Parrish, combined with much greater military sensitivity to Quebec volunteers resulted in a conscription crisis that was minor compared to that of the First World War. French-Canadian volunteers were front and centre, in their own units, throughout the war, highlighted by actions at Dieppe (Les Fusiliers Mont-Royal), Italy (Royal 22e Régiment), the Normandy beaches (Le Régiment de la Chaudière), the thrust into Holland (Le Régiment de Maisonneuve), and in the bombing campaign over Germany (No. 425 Squadron RCAF).
On June 6, 1944, the 3rd Canadian Division landed on Juno Beach in the Battle of Normandy and sustained 50% casualties in their first hour of attack. By the end of D-Day, the Canadians had penetrated deeper into France than either the British or the American troops at their landing sites, overcoming stronger resistance than any of the other beachheads except Omaha Beach. In the first month of the Normandy campaign, Canadian, British and Polish troops were opposed by some of the strongest and best trained German troops in the theatre, including the 1st SS Division, the 12th SS Division and the Panzer-Lehr-Division. Several costly operations were mounted by the Canadians to fight a path to the pivotal city of Caen and then south towards Falaise, part of the Allied attempt to liberate Paris. Canadian troops played a heavy role in the liberation of Paris. Some feel that Canadian inexperience during the battle to close the Falaise Gap allowed German forces to escape destruction, but by the time the First Canadian Army linked up with U.S. forces, the destruction of the German Army in Normandy was nearly complete. Three Victoria Crosses were earned by Canadians in Northwest Europe; Major David Currie of the South Alberta Regiment won the Victoria Cross for his actions at Saint-Lambert-sur-Dive, Captain Frederick Tilston of the Essex Scottish and Sergeant Aubrey Cosens of the Queen's Own Rifles of Canada were rewarded for their service in the Rhineland fighting in 1945, the latter posthumously.
ne of the most important Canadian contributions was the Battle of the Scheldt, involving the II Canadian Corps. The Corps included the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division, 3rd Canadian Infantry Division and 4th Canadian (Armoured) Division. Although nominally a Canadian formation, II Canadian Corps contained the Polish 1st Armoured Division, the 1st Belgian Infantry Brigade, the Royal Netherlands Motorized Infantry Brigade, and the 51st (Highland) Infantry Division.
The British had liberated Antwerp, but that city's port could not be used until the Germans were driven from the heavily fortified Scheldt estuary. In several weeks of heavy fighting in the fall of 1944, the Canadians succeeded in defeating the Germans in this region. The Canadians then turned east and played a central role in the liberation of the Netherlands.
In 1945, the people of the Netherlands sent 100,000 hand-picked tulip bulbs as a post-war gift for the role played by Canadian soldiers in the liberation of the Netherlands. These tulips were planted on Parliament Hill and along the Queen Elizabeth Driveway.
Princess Juliana was so pleased at the prominence given to the gift that in 1946, she decided to send a personal gift of 20,000 tulip bulbs to show her gratitude for the hospitality received in Ottawa. The gift was part of a lifelong bequest. Since then, tulips have proliferated in Ottawa as a symbol of peace, freedom and international friendship. Every year, Canada’s capital receives 10,000 bulbs from the Dutch royal family.

The photo in PuppetZ's post was taken on October 1st, 1940 by Claude Dettloff. The British Columbia Regiment (Duke of Connaught's Own), marching in New Westminster, 1940. As a rifle regiment, weapons are carried "at the trail" rather than at the slope. "Wait for me, Daddy" is one of the most famous and reprinted Canadian WW2 Photos. The father survived the war.

Let's not forget William Avery "Billy" Bishop, 72 victories in World War I, according to some sources (British accounting of victories being what it is) he was the top British Empire pilot of the war.
Bishop was the subject of a two-man musical called "Billy Bishop Goes to War" which is one of the best plays ever done about the period.
Other bits of Canadian military history:
Cpl. Rob Furlong: held the record for longest confirmed sniper kill, now second only the UK's CoH Craig Harrison.
Flight Lieutenant George Frederick "Buzz" Beurling, Canada's highest scoring pilot of WW II 31.3 kills, including 27(!) in just 14 days.
The War of 1812: We kicked the Yanks off our lawn. Plus, the British burned down Washington on our behalf in retaliation for the Americans torching what would later become Toronto. Yeah, that rockets' red glare you sing about? Those were *our* rockets. :)

He was flying a Spitfire Mk V out of Malta.
Bagged a running Bf109 at 800-900 yards.

Actually, the War of 1812 was a military butt whooping for the United States.
As usual, the Brits couldn't make it stick and we ran them off for the second time. Thanks France.
And ever since then they and the Canadians have relied on us and our "big brother retard strength" to keep balance in the northern hemisphere.
It's really not a big deal. Allies are Allies as far as I can tell.
Both the Brits and Canucks have stood by our side steadfastly in recent conflicts, and I would gladly salute a Canadian or English or Scottish or Irish military unit were I to see them come walking by. Out of respect.
Perhaps that's the difference between us.
Respect.

Flight Lieutenant George Frederick "Buzz" Beurling, Canada's highest scoring pilot of WW II 31.3 kills, including 27(!) in just 14 days.
There have been a couple of great books regarding Beurling, he was truly one of the most lethal fighter pilots of all time. He spent most of his time perfecting his shooting skills while on the ground by shooting at strange angles with pistols and rifles etc. He had a very unorthodox way of calculating lead and angles for shooting, it is described in one of the books, and one of the only people he ever sat down and explained it to was his squadron XO while in Malta. Within 3 days this XO went from never hitting an enemy to killing 4 109s, and went on to make ace. Beurling used to remove the .303's from his planes and shoot only the 20mm, and there were kills where he said he had aimed for the Italian pilot's head, and hit it with a 5 shot burst from the ol hispanos, proved by gun film and by said pilot being sans head when they found the wreck.
He was also absolutely CRAZY. If you get a chance, track down his books, I can't recall what one title was, but the best book is called "Malta Spitfire", and it is excellent. Edit: The other book is called "Hero: The Buzz Beurling Story".
Also, as an aside, my Pipe Band was part and parcel to the Seaforth Highlanders back in the day, and our cap badge is still the Stag that the Seaforths wore. Great video!

Anyone with any sense or knowledge would appreciate the fine contribution of the Canadians...Vimy Ridge, Passchendaele, Dieppe, Kapyong etc etc. They fielded the arguably some of the finest infantryman in WW1 (along with the Aussies, and Kiwis) and went on to serve with honour & distinction in all services in all the following major conflicts.

Well good sirs, that's not the point of the whole thing here. The point is our soldiers fought with bravery and honor in ww1 and ww2 and every other conflict since then. I, for one, do not hold any grudge against the US for trying to invade the British in 1812 (back then we were merely a province in the british empire. We were not the Canadian nation until later in 1867).
And ever since then they and the Canadians have relied on us and our "big brother retard strength" to keep balance in the northern hemisphere.
True, you are probably right that the US military is the strongest. But every military victory is earned trough sweat and blood. And we spilled our own blood in the name of freedom and thus in your own personal name. That balance in the northern hemisphere you talk about have a high price in blood that's been paid not only by the US citizen. Let's honor all of our allies dead, be they US, Canadian, British, polish, French, Russian and every other country. May they be at peace.
I'll say it again : that freedom we old as our birth right have a price in blood. And that blood have no nationality.
