Just don't say it to an old German soldier. He will get up out of his wheelchair and kick your ass.

The Battle of Beleau Wood and Chateau-Thierry are considered the turning points of WW1. The British were exhausted. The French were in retreat through Chateau-Thierry. American Marines turned the German offensive at Beleau Wood and stopped the German advance at Chateau-Thiery. But so many of you want to ignore our contribution. Kiss my ass Euro's. As well as you Canadians. It was the German commander at Belleau Woods who gave our Marine's the name " Devil Dogs ". So say we did nothing.

Yanks didn't do fuck all? The Yanks gave nearly as much blood as the Cannucks and Aussies combined. Yeah, thats fuck all for you.

The Australians/Canadians were normaly the spearheads for any attack.
The Australians with their courage.
And the canadians with their skills,
we helped to crush the german deathmachine.
Fuck yea!

Yeah , i've heard many times that Canadians and Australians were the best. The Germans claimed that the Canadians were the thoughest because we would never retreat and that our attacks were so effective. 2 Dominions that did way better than the Brits did.

The Australian were damn good but they didn't win the aclaim like the Canadians. This does not detract from supreme sacrafices that both the Canadian Corps and the ANZACs made. Many times the Australians were responcible for getting the Canadian Corp to where we jumped off for the next big attack. But its 100% proof positive that Canada claimed the title as the toughest corps after we took Vimy Ridge and Passchendale. We also faced the first Gas attack in history at Ypres in 1915. |
