I just saw the movie and it was British and French troops there.
Canada lost 66,665 troops in World War One. In World War Two, 46,998 troops perished. Five hundred sixteen were lost in the Korean Conflict. To present day, 157 Canadian troops have died in Afghanistan. An additional 121 have lost their lives doing peace keeping missions.
380000 troops were involved in the revolutionary war
