Comment

Following Britain's declaration of war, Canada's response was swift and enthusiastic, with recruits swiftly swelling the ranks of Canada's standing army from 3,110 to over 30,000. On October 3, 1914, the largest movement of Canadians during the First World War - the largest convoy ever to cross the Atlantic at the time - leaves for Europe.

Tens of thousands of fathers, sons, husbands and brothers rode the cable-lined gangway of steel ships to England, along with 7,000 horses, ammunition and provisions.

Rail transport also played an essential role in the mobilization of Canada. Soldiers from all over the country were transported by train to the new training camp at Valcartier, near Quebec City, or to the port of Halifax, from where they sailed. During the war, over 650,000 men made the crossing. Sadly, over 66,000 never returned home. Automatically translated

À la suite de la déclaration de guerre de la Grande-Bretagne, la réponse du Canada est prompte et enthousiaste; des recrues viennent rapidement grossir les rangs de l'armée permanente du Canada, faisant passer le nombre de soldats de 3 110 à plus de 30 000. Le 3 octobre 1914, le plus important déplacement de Canadiens durant la Première Guerre mondiale – le plus important convoi à avoir jamais traversé l'Atlantique à ce moment-là – part pour l'Europe.

Des dizaines de milliers de pères, de fils, d'époux et de frères empruntèrent la passerelle bordée de câbles de navires en acier qui les emmenèrent en Angleterre, de même que 7 000 chevaux, des munitions et des provisions.

Le transport ferroviaire a également joué un rôle essentiel dans la mobilisation du Canada. En effet, c'est par train que des soldats venant de partout au pays étaient emmenés jusqu'au nouveau camp d'entraînement de Valcartier, près de Québec, ou jusqu'au port d'Halifax, d'où ils prenaient la mer. Durant la guerre, plus de 650 000 hommes effectuèrent cette traversée. Malheureusement, plus de 66 000 ne rentrèrent jamais au pays.
