Lest we forget - canadian grave

[Gil Boyd]

I didn't realise how many Canadians died there having been there many times over the years.
Everytime I go I find out even more about that bloody war, which was supposed to end all wars. How our Politicians spoke so easily about the sacrifice made by so many young men from ALL over the world, from every nation. It wiped out a generation here in the UK, so what did it do to the rest of the nations??
Vimy Ridge is remarkable if you haven't been there before and you get a chance to visit.
Canadian Students are seconded there for 2 years and what they don't know about the battle for the ridge isn't worth knowing about. A real and lasting credit to all Canadian people and Forces who served and continue to serve. When you see concrete covered trenches 30 feet away from each other at the closest point, it is truly remarkable anybody came home
