Canada entered the First World War in 1914 with an army of just 3,110 men; its navy, which was only founded in 1910, consisted of two old cruisers and 350 sailors. But by the end of the war, more than 650,000 men and women from Canada and Newfoundland (then a separate colony) had answered the call of duty, but at the cost of 66,000 lives. For a nation of just eight million, this was a significant contribution, and Canada emerged with a new-found standing on the world stage and a growing sense of national identity. By the end of the Second World War, Canada had become a leading member of the international community and had one of the largest navies in the world. More than a million Canadians and Newfoundlanders served in the war, with 45,000 killed and another 55,000 wounded.

(depicted on this coin) was deployed at the start of the Second World War. On May 22, 1931, and arrived in Halifax on July 3, 1931.
