This map illustrates the 1st Canadian Division's sector during the Canal du Nord operation. The 1st Division, along with the 4th Division, was to crash over the Canal du Nord, and then fan out on its eastern side to allow follow-on forces to continue the advance. The battalions were expected to 'leap-frog' one another as the division moved on to other objectives.
