This sorrowing figure of a woman represents Canada–a young nation mourning her dead.

We visited Vimy 7 years ago for the first time.  It is full of powerful emotions.

Near the northern end of the western front lies Vimy. The preserved Canadian and German trenches show how close the forward lines were.  The Monument, located at the top of the ridge overlooking the village, is on the battleground with the craters still visible.
