Detailed explanation-1: -In providing many members of the Royal Flying Corps, the Royal Naval Air Service and later the Royal Air Force, Canada made a great contribution in this field. More than 23, 000 Canadian airmen served with British Forces and over 1, 500 died.
Detailed explanation-2: -Some 619, 636 Canadians enlisted with the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the war, and approximately 424, 000 served overseas. Of these men and women, 59, 544 members of the CEF died during the war, 51, 748 of them as a result of enemy action.
Detailed explanation-3: -Borden persuaded the British to let Canada and the other dominions get a place at the 1919 Versailles Peace Conference and a seat in the new League of Nations. This was a recognition of the Canadian Corps’s role and the manufacturing and agricultural effort at home, a sign that Canada’s new status merited recognition.
