All aboard for Arras
In late April this year, we’ll be boarding the Eurostar again, but this time heading to a new location – the northern French city of Arras. The weekend will see the six of us visiting the memorials and preserved trenches at Vimy Ridge on the Saturday. The Vimy Memorial is Canada’s largest overseas National Memorial (pictured above). It commemorates more than 11,000 men of the Canadian Expeditionary Force killed during the First World War in France and who have no known grave.
