What a wonderful gift to give this man and his cousin. How many people can truly say they were able to stand where their Father fought over 100 years ago. A magnificent and moving story ... it had me in tears. So many countries contributed to the freedom most of us have today!
This was riveting. I had never heard about this battle or these tunnels. How awesome that you brought his family to see this. It moved me to tears.😢
Please find out more stories like this so we may learn much more!
Please continue to do these stories. My Great Grandfather was a Doughboy in WW1.
Thank you so much for sharing you desire to see more with us, Bill! We'll pass this along! Have a lovely day!
My great grandfather alfred westgarth was in the 116th battalion and was shot in the neck on vimy ridge on April 10th 1917
My husband's great uncle died there. He was 19.
I hope you find more families that you can share with us!
Thank you for these stories, they are precious.
We are thrilled to hear you enjoy them, K! Thanks for sharing with us!
Bless all that fought for our freedom. This was so moving.
This is incredible! 🥰 How special to be able to share his dad’s experience. He must be very proud.
Oh how I wish someone like this could find something that belonged to my ancestors
My father is named Vimy after this battle. I've been told that a family member fought there but haven't been able to figure out who it was yet.
My uncle TM1c Verden Fayette Ness USN served during WWII making 9 war patrols in the Pacific aboard submarines. Aside from a few muster records, all of his history seems to have been lost in a fire in the 70’s at a military records holding facility. I’d dearly love to know what subs he served on and the patrols he was part of. His only remaining sibling would also love to know, but it seems lost to us now.

@@AncestryUS the one story you covered with the compass case and then to the compass it's self. Would be nice if the family would type up their side of the story up to the end. Then display in that museum for all to read.
I already know my history, thanks anyway
I would love to see the connections to all the other names.
Had me emotional
My husbands grandfather served with the RAMC in ww1.
