Summary[edit]
DescriptionArras Battlefield, France. Vimy Ridge Canadian Memorial. (5090858922).jpg | Until April 1917 the ridge was held by the Germans and this gave them the advantage of observation over the area. Before the offensive at Arras could progress the ridge had to be taken and this took place on 9/10 April 1917 when the Canadians, in driving sleet, took the ridge within two days. On the summit of the ridge at a point known as Hill 145 is the Canadian memorial to their missing, bearing the names of 11,285 missing soldiers. Looking over the Douai plain at the rear of the memorial it is possible to understand the importance of this position. |
