On 25 April 1915, when the shelling died down, chlorine gas wafted across no-man's. While French troops fled in panic, the Canadians held their ground. After several days of chaotic and brutal fighting, the Ypres position remained in Allied hands. Having learned from the 1916 Battle of the Somme, the Canadian Corps used new tactics, including improved artillery techniques, to capture Vimy Ridge as part of a larger Allied spring offensive in April 1917. In order to relieve the pressure on other allied troops fighting a strategic campaign in Flanders, the Canadian Corps captured Hill 70 in August 1917. Arthur Currie proved to be a capable and innovative commander. His Corps soon advanced north to support Haig and his struggling campaign. In mid-October, Canadians relieved Australian troops near Passchendaele and were shocked by the terrible battlefield conditions. With his preparations complete, Currie launched the attack on October 16. 000 Canadians were killed or wounded before the ridge was captured.
