Vimy Ridge

Sundsay, 9 April 2023, Legion members lowered the flags to half mast in remembrance of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. Many Canadian historians consider this to be the event that marked "the coming of age" of Canada as a truly independent nation, in contrast to an independent colony in the British Commonwealth. 

The Canadian War Museum website has an excellent feature at Battle of Vimy Ridge.  

History Television regularly airs For King and Empire a popular Norm Christie documentary. 

Library and Archives Canada has a enitre section Canada and the First World War that includes War Diaries - Vimy Ridge.
