Guest Carl Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 The Canadian Army did some amazingly difficult work on Vimy Ridge. I salute them. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 The Canadian Army did some amazingly difficult work on Vimy Ridge. I salute them. Carl Indeed they did. I visited Vimy Ridge this summer and it's impossible to comprehend what the conditions must have been like when you stand in the original trenches or walk through the tunnels the troops used to live in. We shall remember them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Long time friend, that is passing it on to the next family generation, and wanted it restored and running... Lest we forget. RG What a great tribute...and really, I can't think of a better person to restore such a fitting tribute. Not only a technical master, but somebody who has a real appreciation of its history. A fantastic, tangible reminder for the next generation to be thankful for all we have today!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
