Thread Name: BS: Vimy.... 90 years.
Subject: RE: BS: Vimy.... 90 years.
Thanks for the link, Peace. I only know snatches of this story. Is it true that nobody had been able to capture Vimy previously? Is it true that the Canadians faced the German machine guns with bayonets? Is it true that it was more than weapons that won Vimy?

I think its important that people know that Vimy Ridge signifies the birth of Canada. It was the first time that Canadians from every province fought together and showed the nation and the world the strength of Canadian resolve.
