VIMY MEMORIAL
France
Grave Reference:
Location: Canada's most impressive tribute overseas to those Canadians who fought and gave their lives in the First World War is the majesticand inspiring VIMY MEMORIAL, which overlooks the Douai Plain from the highest point of Vimy Ridge, about eight kilometres northeast of Arrason the N17 towards Lens. The Memorial is signposted from this road to th eleft, just before you enter the village of Vimy from the south. The memorial itself is someway inside the memorial park, but again it is well signposted.

The VIMY MEMORIAL does more than mark the site of the engagement which Canadians were to remember with more pride than any other operation ofthe First World War. It stands as a tribute to all who served their country in battle in that four-year struggle, and particularly to those who gave their lives. At the base of the VIMY MEMORIAL, these words appear in French and in English:
To the valour of their Countrymen in the great war
And in memory of their sixty Thousand dead this monument Is raised by the people of Canada

Inscribed on the ramparts of the VIMY MEMORIAL are the names of over11,000 Canadian soldiers who were posted as "missing, presumed dead" in France.

The land for the battlefield park, 91.18 hectares in extent, was (asstated on a plaque at the entrance to the VIMY MEMORIAL) "the free gifti n perpetuity of the French nation to the people of Canada". Eleven thousand tonnes of concrete and masonr y were required for the base of the VIMY MEMORIAL: and 5,500 tonnes of "trau" stone were brought from Yugoslavia for the pylons and the sculptured figures. Construction of the massive work began in 1925, and 11 years later, on July 26, 1936, the monument was unveiled by King Edward VIII.

The park surrounding the VIMY MEMORIAL was created by horticultural experts. Canadian trees and shrubs were planted in great masses to resemble the woods and forests of Canada. Around the VIMY MEMORIAL, beyond the grassy slopes of the approaches , are wooded parklands. Trenches and tunnels have been restored and preserved and the visitor can picture the magnitude of the task that faced the Canadian Corps on that distant dawn when history was made.
