#OnThisDay, The Battle of Vimy Ridge was fought during the First World War from 9 to 12 April 1917. It was a defining moment for the country and is Canada’s mos...t celebrated military victory. The capture of Vimy was more than just an important battlefield victory. For the first time all four Canadian divisions attacked together: men from all regions of #Canada were present at the battle. Canadian troops also earned a reputation as formidable, effective troops because of their stunning success. But it was a victory at a terrible cost, with more than 10,000 killed and wounded. Today an iconic memorial atop the ridge honours the Canadians killed in France throughout the war who have no known graves a venerated symbol of the birth of Canadian national pride and awareness. The image below, painted by Australian Captain William Longstaff, depicts soldiers' ghosts marching up Vimy Ridge from the Douai Plain, returning to the memorial. #CAF #CanadaRemembers #LestWeForget #RememberThem #FlashbackFriday #History #Friday
