This day in Canadian Military History...
17 August 1917
Fighting continues around Hill 70, which the Canadians captured 2 days ago. The troops are kept busy fighting off repeated German counter-attacks, which have been ongoing since the capture of the high ground.
17 August 1940
No 1 Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force, becomes operational in Britain. It will still be another week before the airmen are launched into action, but their presence in the latter stages of the Battle of Britain is a welcome one.
