[edit] Canal constructed 1918?

I find it unlikely that the canal was dug in German-occupied territory in the middle of war. I think the construction began before the war but was suspended when the Germans occupied the region in 1914. Indefatigable (talk) 22:10, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Canadians?

If Lord Gort won his VC here, then why does this article imply that Canadian Soldiers did all the fighting? Surely other Allied troops were there in some sort of combat capacity? Dom 15:42 13 March 2008 (GMT)

True. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the information necessary to add all of the details to the article (my perspective on the article is limited to Canadian History) Cheers! Cam (Chat) 05:20, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
