The Battle of Ypres April 1915

The Details Occurred April 22 - 24, 1915 in Belgium. This was the first action for the Canadians The First Canadian Division were battling the Germans near the town Ypres alongside British and French troops The Germans were the first to release the new weapon chlorine gas, which forced soldiers to evacuate the trenches.

The Canadian Role The French were the first to retreat, leaving a large gap between forces. The job of holding Ypres until British reinforcements came fell to the Canadians. They held the ground. By covering their mouths with urine soaked rags they crystallized the gas to help them from breathing in the vapour.
