Since 1916 there has grown up a movement in Canada whose duplication in the U.S. is an almost inevitable development. It consists of an attempt on the part of the returned soldiers to constitute themselves into a special fraternity within the community. The Great War Veterans Association of Canada has a simple and honorable history. As Canadian soldiers drifted back from Europe in the latter half of 1915, they naturally sought one another's society to discuss their experiences and problems, and in various cities and towns there were formed local associations, whose membership soon assumed considerable proportions. On April 15, 1917, the Great War Veterans Association of Canada was born.
