Could someone edit this for me...

In 1915, the 1st Canadian Division was recognized as a fighting force, for holding their ground against a new type of warfare; chlorine gas. It was at the Battle of Ypres where the Germans released 160 tons of poisonous chlorine gas on a large scale of the Western Front. As the thick yellow clouds of chlorine gas drifted over British & French forces, soldiers started to drop dead and many tried to run from the area.

Luckily, a solider from the Canadian Lines discovered that by pressing urine socked clothes over their noses and mouths would not allow the gas to penetrate their bodies. By the time the word was spread, there was a four -mile gap between the allied lines.

The Canadian Division worked all day and night, to attempt to fill the giant hole. On April 24, the Germans attacked in an effort to wipe out the enemy once and for all. Another violent attack was followed by a gas assault. This time the target was the Canadians. In a matter of two days, the Canadian Line experienced 2,000 deaths and a total of 6,000 casualties. Even though, the Canadian Division suffered so many loses, it was the first time that a small force caused a major European power to withdraw.

In 1915, during the Battle of Ypres, the 1st Canadian Division demonstrated their resilience in facing a new form of warfare: chlorine gas. The Germans unleashed approximately 160 tons of poisonous chlorine gas on a significant portion of the Western Front, resulting in the deaths of numerous British and French soldiers as they encountered the thick, yellow clouds of gas.

However, a soldier from the Canadian Lines made a fortunate discovery. It was found that by using urine-soaked clothes as makeshift masks to cover their noses and mouths, the soldiers were able to prevent the gas from entering their bodies. This knowledge quickly spread among the troops, but by that time, there was already a four-mile gap separating the allied lines.

Despite the perilous situation, the Canadian Division tirelessly worked day and night to fill the enormous gap. On April 24, the Germans initiated another attack with the intention of wiping out the enemy completely. This assault was accompanied by yet another gas attack, this time specifically targeting the Canadians. In just two days, the Canadian Line suffered 2,000 fatalities and a total of 6,000 casualties.

Remarkably, despite the immense losses suffered by the Canadian Division, this battle marked the first instance where a small force managed to compel a major European power to withdraw. The resilience, resourcefulness, and bravery displayed by the 1st Canadian Division during the Battle of Ypres became widely recognized, establishing them as a formidable fighting force.
