The Battle of Vimy Ridge: A Defining Moment for Canada 🇨🇦

On April 9, 1917, Canadians took Vimy Ridge, marking a turning point in WWI and Canadian history. This victory is often seen as a pivotal moment in the development of Canadian national identity. The battle claimed over 3,500 lives but solidified Canada's reputation as a formidable fighting force and contributed to its growing autonomy on the global stage. 🇨🇦⚔️ #Vimy #WWI #Canada 🎗️

Somewhat grainy side view of a large twin engined biplane flying from right to left at a very low altitude. The plane is almost entirely painted brown, with the registration "G-EAOU" prominent on the side of the fuselage.Side view of a twin engined jet airliner taxiing facing to the right being pushed back from it's stand by a tow truck just off screen on the right. The plane is mostly white, with a thick blue stripe running along the body, and large LOT titles on the forward fuselage, with smaller "POLSKIE LINIE LOTNICZE" titles on the centre upper fuselage over the wings. The tail is blue, with a white circle with a red and white stripe coming backwards from the top, with a stylised flying blue bird in the middle. In the nbackground is a terminal building, with a couple of grey airbridges coming down and to the left - the nearest of these has a light blue plane attached to the end.Side view of a twin engined jet airliner with it's main wheels flat on the ground but it's nose raised steeply as it accelerates through take off, moving from right to left. The plane is mostly white, with a blue, yellow, and gold stripe running along the body, with blue "SINGAPORE AIRLINES" titles on the upper forward fuselage. The tail is a dark blue, with a golden flying bird in the middle. In the background, a tall airport building with an extensively green glazed tower looms over the right of the frame, with smaller buildings stretching across the picture.

Today in 1936, the Canadian National Vimy Memorial is unveiled by King Edward VIII.
The memorial was built by Walter Seymour Allward over the course of 11 years.
Over 50,000 were present for the dedication.
The structure is the centrepiece of a 100-hectare site.

Today in 1922, France grants one square kilometre at Vimy Ridge "freely, and for all time, to the Government of Canada, the free use of the land exempt from all taxes."
The land is still French soil, despite popular belief.
On that land, the Vimy Memorial is built.
