Les canadiens à la crête de Vimy
Le matin du 9 avril 1917, plus de 100 000 canadiens et leurs alliés se préparent à attaquer la crête de Vimy. Leur objectif était de capturer un bastion allemend et de contrôler le terrain surérélevé surplombant la plaine de Douai.
Pour relever ce défit difficile, les quatre divisions du Corps canadien combattaient ensemble pour la toute première fois.
Leur succès a été un moment déterminant de l'expérience du Canada pendant la Première Guerre Mondiale.
Après quatre jours de combats sanglants, les Canadiens s’étaient rendus maîtres de la crête de Vimy au prix de plus de 10 600 tués et blessés.
Au fil du temps, la bataille est également devenu un important tournant culturel et historique au Canada.

Canadians at Vimy Ridge
On the morning of April 9, 1917, more than 100,000 Canadians and their allies prepared to attack Vimy Ridge. Their objective was to capture a German stronghold and control the elevated terrain overlooking the Douai plain.
To meet this difficult challenge, the four divisions of the Canadian Corps fought together for the very first time.
Their success was a defining moment in Canada’s experience during the First World War.
After four days of bloody fighting, Canadians took control of Vimy Ridge with more than 10,600 killed and injured.
Over time, the battle has also become an important cultural and historical turning point in Canada.
