    Canada declared war on Germany during the World War II on Sunday Dec 10, 1939. This was a very sudden decision and no preparations had been done before hand.

    Canada has only 5000 soldiers in its regular army. It has only 16 modern light tanks, 4 anti-aircraft guns and two anti-tank guns. The militia had 50,000 men. Recruitments started instantly. The first division of Canadian Army reached Englandin December 1939. They were commanded by Maj. Gen. A.G.L McNaughton.
