Sir Arthur Currie become the first Canadian commander of the Canadian Corps. Currie’s success was based on his ability to rapidly adapt brigade tactics to the exigencies of trench warfare, using set-piece operations and bite-and-hold tactics.

Currie led the Canadian Corps to several important victories, particularly the Battle of Vimy Ridge (April 1917). This Battle is Canada’s most celebrated military victory.

Canadian historians have described Currie as Canada’s greatest military commander.
