Sounds highly unbelievable, but I cannot comment further.
The 4 divisions of the Canadian Corps had 100,000 troops which may have been equal to 10 full strength German divisions.
Note the following Wiki article which I did not write, although probably a Canadian did.

My surprise is that the evil Hun was constantly chastised for gas but it was a common Canadian tool which isn't all that common knowledge.
