Reconstructed Canadian WW1 trenches at Vimy Ridge, near Arras, northern France.
WW1 trenches reconstructed in concrete as part of the Vimy Ridge Memorial Site of Canada. The ridge was finally captured from the Germans on 9-11 April 1914, by British and Canadian forces. It is significant in Canadian history as the first major victory by a newly-united military force from the newly-united Dominion, and it helped to establish Canada’s national identity.
