Canadian Women's Army Corps Unit arriving in Italy, World War 2
As we learned in class, Canadian women did a lot in both World Wars, like building planes and bombs but not a lot of people know that women served as nurses and later they took on a larger role. In this photo, you can see women soldiers who have just landed in Italy. Women could enlist in any part of the armed services such as the Navy, Army or Air Force and received training in various fields.
Matt, you have some good facts about Canadian women and their roles in both wars. How are you connecting this image to the Canadian identity? What does this tell you about Canada and its values?
ReplyDeletei love the fact you did your blog on the female solders, you need more facts and maybe connected it back to Canadas identity a little better but great job :)
ReplyDeleteTyler, I like how you are supportive of Matt's contribution and give suggestions. In future responses, you can add to the conversation by providing further facts, as well.
DeleteTyler: The fact that this blog was about Canadian women and how they contributed in both world wars does connect to our Canadian identity. It demonstrates that it wasn't just the men that did the work to win the war, but the women played an equal role.
ReplyDeleteMel, you have made a good connection between women and both World Wars. I wonder if you could provide some more details about what women did and how this impacted the Canadian identity.
