    Wars are about humans unable to resolve their differences calmly and thoughtfully. Vimy Ridge was a dreadful battle in a horrific war, a battle fought furiously and violently. All those young men who lost their lives,never to return home to Canada. Let all Canadians think of these men, not just on the anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge but very often. Without their sacrifice we would not be able to live a good life in Canadda.

    My father's older brother was killed at Vimy Ridge on May 9, 1915. He was private with the No. 2 Bayonne Polish Infantry Company, 1st Regiment,, 1st Moroccan Division of the French Foreign Region, in Berthonval (Pas-de-Calais) in the First Battle of Arras. The monument to the Division is located on the other side of the road opposite the Canadian Vimy Monument. My uncle is buried in the Ossuary Barbot of the French National Notre Dame de Lorette Military Cemetery at Ablain-Saint Nazare (Pas-de-Calais).

    This is really well done except some of the images that overlay the 360 video only appear in one eye when viewing with Google Cardboard. the content and the story is also very moving.

    I was at Vimy Ridge last week (with our church which is based in the UK) but was unable to go down to the rear of the monument as the tv crew and security were starting to get everything in place. Thank you very much for posting.

    Deep gratitude to all who died, they believed in a Country and a cause, perhaps misguided, certainly mislead, but their bravery and commitment lives on. Thank you CBC for reminding us.

    Yesterday in a cemetery in the UK saw a Fallen soldiers headstone. He died in 1941 and i was surprised to read on the headstone that his brother also died in action some 12 years later in the Korean War. How sad was that!

    I visited Vimy Ridge a few years ago it is a typical Canadian Heritage place , it is so well organized. The thing I liked is as a Canadian tourist , you find very few people from The U.S.A. , Vimy is all Canadian.

    The Canadian Charge of the Light Brigade. What happened to German Canadians who chose to fight against their fatherland? It's important to remember that German Canadians had to reassert their identity as a Canadian being willing to fight against the country that they had once come from.

    What a great video, those men were brave... And that Captain McDowell deserved his Victoria Cross medal. It just makes me wonder more why Corporal Leo Major didn't get one during WW2?
    (Anyone not knowing who he is, should look it up)
    Guess lower ranking French Canadians were not as privileged.

    Thank You Mr. Mansbridge for this tribute , Vimy Ridge is a place that tugs on your emotions , I was at Vimy Ridge in 1979 for the Remberance Day Parade , O Coy , 3 RCR had the honour of representing Canadians on that very special day of Nov 11. Once again thank you from an old retired soldier.

    Like many of those who have commented, I too had family at Vimy - both grandfathers. One was with the PPCLI, and waited in the Grange Tunnel overnight prior to entering the battle. The other grandfather commanded a Vickers Machine Gun crew, and was part of the "creeping barrage". This grandfather mentions in a letter written April 10, 1917, that in the trench they captured were found lots of German stuff, "so I guess we are in good shape for souvenirs". Apparently, the Brits fought for King and Country, and the Canucks fought for the souvenirs!! If you are in the area, be sure to go and visit. It is an amazing place - the memorial, the interpretive centre, the cemeteries, and the overall grounds.

      There are several terrible things that have happened in our world, including the treatment of far too many minority groups, but I stand by my previous statement. One tragedy does not snuff out another.

      They died because they were innocent, they died because they wanted to free people from occupation and because they were rightious people. You sir don't have no respect for the lives of fallen innocent man that did not know their future nor why they were going to war. Pushing your rhetoric and your agenda on a video that remembers their lives is of poor class and bad taste...
