Vimy Ridge, The Somme: Canada in the Great War

The Battle of Vimy Ridge from the 9th to the 12th of April, 1917 marks the most important victory of the Canadian Forces. I propose to visit the battlefield, its aerial trenches but also underground as well as its interpretive center. The visit will continue on the Somme sector and especially on the Newfoundland Memorial Park in Beaumont Hamel, emblematic place where its soldiers where engaged in the battle. Courcellette and the Canadian Memorial commemorating the battles of 1916.
