The Battlefields Today

Touring the Canadian battlefields is not yet the big business that touring Second World War battlefields has become, but Norman Christie has produced a number of battlefield guides that both summarize the actions and lead the visitor to important Canadian sites. CEF Books, Nepean, Ontario, has published second editions of all of Christie's battlefield tours previously published by Bunker to Bunker Books. Any tourist going overseas to visit the battlefields will also want to be familiar with the memorials and vast cemeteries maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
