Description

The rear of Vimy Memorial, vintage version.

I visited this memorial in the rain and it was only appropriate. The monument is simple and austere, but exquisitely elegant and moving. You reach from the rear part and are received by two beautiful statues in mourning. The you see the names of the missing, carved on the Seget limestone blocks.

The Canadian National Vimy Memorial is a memorial site dedicated to the men of the Canadian Expeditionary Force killed during the Great War and serves as the place of commemoration for the Canadian soldiers of the First WOrld War who have no known grave. The monument is at the center of a preserved battlefield park on the ground over which the Canadians fought during the Battle of Vimy Ridge offensive of the Battle of Arras.

The Battle of Vimy Ridge was the first time all four divisions of the Expeditionary Force fought as a cohesive formation, and became a national symbol of achievement and sacrifice.

There is a vintage version of this image.
