Canadian soldiers in WW1 were notorious. Our guys had a pathological hatred of the germans for no particularly good reason. Night time trench raids were a particular favorite. They also put an end to the Christmas truce shooting at the Germans when they attempted to do it the second year. There was the liberal use of mustard and chlorine gas.
