CANADA'S NATIONAL MEMORIAL AT VIMY
A prestigious memorial located in Givenchy-en-Gohelle, representing Canada, a young nation mourning the loss of its soldiers.
It was on April 9, 1917, that the fate of these soldiers was decided. This memorial is dedicated to them and can be seen for miles around. Erected between 1925 and 1936 on a piece of land, France offered it to Canada. The monument represents Canada, a young nation mourning the loss of its children. Inscribed on the monument are the 11,285 names of Canadian soldiers who fell in battle and have no known grave. The monument is still ringed with shell holes.
