When the
Canadians first appear at Vimy Ridge, they come under intense shell and sniper
fire. I feel that Elijah and Xavier, arriving in France, would have been like
those new recruits, naive and likely to be picked off by the waiting Germans. The
new recruits would have to learn extremely fast, or else they would simply
become another statistic in the killing fields. I feel the artillery would be
the deadliest weapon, as it could do anything. You can fill a shell with
explosives, cluster warheads, shrapnel, gas or anything deadly and nasty. Ergo,
the artillery would be the harshest thing the Canadians face.
