Every year on the first Sunday in June, Canada celebrates Armed Forces Day. At the start of the First World War, the Canadian Armed forces had just 3,500 men, but by the end of the war with conscription announced, they expanded to 400,000. 24,000 of these took part in battles in Europe. The conscription for the Second World War was even larger, with more than a million Canadians serving and of these, 42,000 died in combat. Currently, the Canadian Armed Forces have just over 90,000 personnel. 

The M4A5, or the Ram II is a premium medium tank for the USA and Great Britain. It is a odd mixture of several Allied tanks like the M3 Lee and the M4 Sherman and despite not being particularly used during WWII, it remains a good all-rounder tank for both the US and British techtree or someone wanting to grind either.

The Skink is one of the most iconic Canadian vehicles produced during World War II; the result of Canadian designers' and engineers' concept to fill a role that was required overseas. However, due to setbacks and production limitations, by the time it was ready it was no longer needed. Unlike most delayed projects, the Skink did see service and was operated in the European theater.
