This year, as Canada marks 100 years since the end of the First World War, Maclean’s published a special commemorative edition that honours 66,349 Canadians who died during that war—and includes a searchable database of the fallen. We’ve also published a series of essays by celebrated historian J.L. Granatstein. Check it all out here.
