Climb aboard a water-borne
improvised explosive device

Story by Stephen J. Thorne

Rebels in Yemen are wielding a new naval weapon on the Red Sea, but it took some time after it was first used for authorities to realize what they were dealing with. Now the weapons investigation organization Conflict Armament Research (CAR) has published the first detailed images and descriptions of what it is calling a water-borne improvised explosive device, or WBIED.

Charge of the cavalry

Story by John Boileau

For thousands of years, men on horseback were an essential part of warfare. Mounted soldiers—cavalry—were scouts, reserves or attack forces, used when speed, shock action or long distances were involved. The cavalry was a proven and necessary component of most armies. That all changed in the First World War as machine guns, barbed wire, trenches, minefields and artillery barrages led to huge increases in casualties and severely restricted mobility, a key advantage of cavalry. However in March 1918, mounted Canadian soldiers launched one of warfare’s last great attacks on horseback. #LestWeForget

Belgian king returns field gun to Canada

Belgian king returns field gun to Canada

Story and photography by Stephen J. Thorne

It’s been nearly a century since Canadian guns fell silent at Mons, Belgium, the last city they liberated before Germany surrendered and the war to end all wars was ended. Two of those guns were left behind as gifts from Canada to the City of Mons in 1919. One has come back to Canada on long-term loan to the Canadian War Museum where the occasion was marked on March 13 by a visit from Belgium’s King Philippe and Queen Mathilde.

The liberation of Zeeland

Story and photography by Adam M. Tindal

The Battle of the Scheldt was a massive Canadian victory that was largely overshadowed by British and American triumphs of the Second World War. But not everyone has forgotten Canada’s Cinderella Army and the importance of its victory along the Scheldt River in the fall of 1944.

March 20, 1917

The preparatory artillery bombardment for the assault on Vimy Ridge, France, begins.
