Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei whitianga - I whai wehenga ingoa a Kanata i runga pepa i waenga i nga pakanga, e tirotiro ana i te Militia (nga ope rahui wa-waahi), engari kaore he wehenga mahi. I te 1 o Hepetema 1939, e rua nga wehenga i whakaarahia hei waahanga o te Canadian Active Service Force; i whakaarahia te Wahanga Tuatoru i te 1940, i whai mai i te Wahanga Tuatahi o Kanata (Armored) me te Wahanga Tuawha o Kanata. I whakaingoatia te First Armoured ko te Fifth Canadian (Armoured) Division, a ko te Fourth Division ano hoki he hanganga patu patu. I whawhai te 1st me te 5th Divisions i te Mediterranean i waenga i te 1943 me te timatanga o te 1945; ko te 2nd, 3rd me te 4th Divisions i mahi i te raki o te uru o Uropi
He aha? I whakaarahia he Wahanga Tuaono, Tuawhitu me te Tuawaru mo te mahi i Kanata, me tetahi parirau o te Wahanga Tuaono e haere ana ki Kiska i te 1943. I te tau 1945, i whakakorehia nga wehenga e toru o muri mai i te mea kua heke te riri ki Amerika ki te Raki. I whakaarahia te Tuatoru o Kanata (Tuhinga o mua) i te tau 1945 mo te mahi mahi i Tiamana, i whakaritea i te taha o te Tuatoru o nga Wahanga, me te Wahanga Ono o Kanata (Canadian Army Pacific Force) i whakaakona me te whakangungu mo te whakaekenga o Japan i te wa i tukuna ai te whenua whakamutunga i te marama o Hepetema 1945. Ko nga wehenga whawhai e rima, me te CAOF me te CAPF, i whakakorehia i te mutunga o te 1946.
