I just saw a photo of Canadians taken prisoner at Dieppe, one soldier appears to be black. Did the Canadian forces enlist Black men or was the guy in the photo using face camouflage?-- Woogie10w ( talk) 21:34, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
not sure whether this would/should be under "first canadian army" which is one specific formation in the canadian army
and I am not sure about the answer to you question
my guess would be that blacks were permitted but not especially encouraged (and perhaps not a large percentage of the population at that time

I was hoping to make the pictures larger, but I see it has been undone One problem with "clicking" to make it bigger is that you lose the CAPTION -- anyway around this?
the name occurs in a cite I expanded William Culham Woodward with, I'm unsure where to redirect that to. Skookum1 ( talk) 06:26, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
I'm surprised to see the date of the Invasion of Normandy given as May 31, 1944. The Wikipedia article Operation Overlord/Battle of Normandy says "The operation commenced on 6 June 1944 with the Normandy landings...". We're talking about D-Day, right? Jimkinna ( talk) 05:28, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

This article appears to have a modern context applied to a historic set of facts. In World War II, there was no "Canadian Army." There were Canadian raised divisions in the British Army. The distinction is important as it is not analogous to the American Expeditionary Force in World War I or the U.S. Army fighting in the European Theater of Operations in World War II.
At this point, the Canadian provinces had collective home rule but were not a sovereign country. The UK Parliament had veto over all Canadian laws.
In the info box, there is this text:
"Senior Canadian operational formation in Europe during World War II"
I think it should be changed to:
"British Army designated force comprising primarily Canadian sourced divisions but also with UK divisions and other national elements"
In the main body there is this statement:
"the senior formation of the Canadian Army"
This should be changed to:
"a formation of the British Army in which most Canadian elements of the British Army serving in Northwest Europe were assigned" Bemcfarland ( talk) 19:53, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
