Europe 2018

The Vimy memorial was very impressive and we had a beautiful day to see it as it really stood out against the blue sky. It wasn't as big as we were expecting based on what we had seen on TV. There were not too many other people there and we were able to go all over it basically on our own. As it's a very bright white marble and it was a bright and sunny day you had to be very careful. It made the large steps all over it very hard to see. We were very impressed and felt incredibly lucky to be able to see it.もっと詳しく

This is a Canadian WW1 Cemetery that is located right at the edge of where John Kennedy fought at Vimy Ridge. We had to hike in to it. Along the way we were seeing craters in the woods from the bombings much like in the Vimy park. We also spotted 4 barbed wire posts left in the woods. We reached the cemetery and it was incredibly well maintained. We continued hiking further as Doug was hoping to spot landmarks and find some shrapnel balls. He had no luck but we did find poppies growing wild.もっと詳しく

This village is right beside Vimy and it's a village that shows great appreciation for the Canadians. There's Canadian flags flying around the town and they put maple leaf stickers on everything from their garbage pails to their mailboxes.もっと詳しく
