Here is an interesting bit of Canadian history:

"... throughout [WWII] the number of marriages rose, both in Canada and overseas among the troops. (The latter event wasn't officially encouraged, but with 500,000 young men overseas and in garrison in Great Britain for much of the war, it took place regardless.) When the Canadian military returned from Europe they brought 43,000 war brides and 21,000 children. (And they left behind 30,000 illegitimate children)" (Bothwell, 366).


How many Canadian troops - especially men - came back from Europe at the end of WWII? Turns out the answer is not easily found via google search. The closest I can get at the moment:

" [Approximately 1.1 million] Canadians and Newfoundlanders [Newfoundland was not a Canadian province until 1949] served in the military — more than 45,000 gave their lives...." Quoted from: Veteran's Affairs Canada - Second World War (1939 – 1945).

So ... the number of male Canadian soldiers that came back to Canada at the end of WWII is somewhere between 1,055,000 and, lets say, 5.
