Vimy Ridge Memorial
Vimy Ridge Memorial
The Vimy Ridge Memorial is situated in a 100–hectare park
given by the people of France to Canada as a tribute to the
Canadian soldiers who fought and died on the Western Front
beside their French allies. The Memorial Park is part of the
battlefield of the Battle of Vimy Ridge, fought between the 9th
and 12th of April 1917.
Canadians seized the ridge from the Germans and drove the
enemy back down from the heights.
