From Vimy Ridge to Mons: The Way to Victory

From Vimy Ridge to Mons: The Way to Victory

Presenter: Peter Broznitsky (Local Historian)

                According to some historians, the eighteen months of World War I from April 1917 to November 1918 saw Canada become a nation.   The perspective from the battlefield may have seemed quite different.  We will look at the four major First World War campaigns in which the Canadians fought up to Armistice on November 11, 1918:  Vimy Ridge, Hill 70, Passchendaele, and the One Hundred Days.  April 9 is Vimy Ridge day in Canada; what do we think as we look back to these events that happened over one hundred years ago?
