Exercise Spartan was a Second World War exercise that took place from 4 to 12 March 1943 in England. It was a test of the structures, components, and organization of the Canadian Army at that time. The exercise was the largest field force ever commanded by a Canadian officer up until that time. It was described by The Times as “the greatest offensive exercise ever staged in the military history of these islands.”[1]
