The Battle of Festubert would be the second major engagement for the Canadian troops and it would be a relative disaster due to the lack of planning by British Commanders.
It was a battle that saw over 2,000 Canadian deaths for only 600 yards of land.
In this episode, I look at the planning of the battle, the battle itself and the aftermath.
