At Vimy Ridge
About this book
April 9, 2007 marks the 90th anniversary of the pivotal World War I battle — one that many historians view as the battle that defined Canada as a nation.
At Vimy Ridge, Canadian soldiers achieved what more experienced soldiers from Britain and France could not — taking the strategic position of Vimy Ridge from the Germans. It was the battle that helped a young country discover its national pride, as for the first time, Canadians fought as Canadians, and achieved a significant victory.
