Odd isn't it that it took them Dieppe to figure it out. One only has to visit any number of small towns in Canada and look at their WW1 Memorials to see how devastated regions were in that war. All those young men signed up at the nearest enlistment centre, and after the war it was a real struggle for some towns to get back up to speed with so many lost or too injured to work productively any more.
