Experience the incredible determination, resilience and sacrifice of Canadian women during the First and Second World Wars. War brought enormous changes to Canadian women?s lives. They adapted to the conditions of total war in practical terms ? working, volunteering and serving in uniform. In the wake of war?s inevitable tragedies, they also faced other challenges. The contributions made by women to the Canadian war efforts were crucial, and their experiences forged a new understanding of women?s capabilities both within themselves and within society. Through photographs, artwork, diaries and mementoes, including a Memorial Cross presented to the mother of a fallen soldier, this souvenir catalogue reveals deeply personal stories of life in service and on the home front.

The First World War was won in the last hundred days.
The Hundred Days campaign ? a series of bitterly fought battles along the Western Front between August and November 1918 ? contributed decisively to ending the war. The Canadian Corps, forever after marked as elite ?shock troops,? played a key role in the Allied victory.
One hundred years after the end of the war, Tim Cook and J. L. Granatstein delve into this series of battles in a visual and evocative souvenir catalogue. Artworks, artifacts and historical photos are woven together with the powerful stories of Canadians who participated in this costly combat.

The Second World War transformed Canada and its place in the world. The outbreak of war in September 1939, following a decade of economic crisis and the rise of aggressive dictatorships, drew Canada into a second global conflict. Canadians ultimately served in virtually every theatre of operations, while the home front mobilized to support the war effort. This souvenir catalogue highlights the Museum?s Second World War Gallery. From the powerful to the intimate, artifacts that have borne witness to the conflict ? including artwork, weapons, uniforms, archival documents and photographs ? help show how the war affected Canada and Canadians.
