Canada remembers Vimy.

In April 1917, all four divisions of the Canadian Corps were ordered to capture the heavily fortified Vimy Ridge in northern France. This was the first engagement in which Canada's soldiers from coast-to-coast would fight side-by-side as one using innovative tactics. Those forces secured a hard-fought victory that earned them a reputation as a formidable opponent on the western front, while inspiring a nation's sense of pride and unity. This was one of Canada's finest hours during the First World War—but it came at a cost of nearly 11,000 casualties.

Since 1936, an impressive national memorial has marked the site as a tribute to the Canadian soldiers who fought for the cause of peace and freedom during the First World War. The Royal Canadian Mint proudly commemorates the Canadians who served at Vimy Ridge—and throughout the First World War—with a powerful pure silver coin that showcases a poignant symbol of a nation's sacrifice, even in triumph.

Commemorate Canada's historic 1917 battle with this pure silver coin

Design:

by Canadian artist Laurie McGaw, your coin features a frontal view of the iconic sculpture "Canada Bereft," which is prominently featured at the Canadian National Vimy Memorial in Vimy, France. An allegorical figure, she is Mother Canada—the powerful personification of a nation mourning her fallen sons. Mother Canada rests her chin on her hand and bears a sorrowful expression that is beautifully re-created with finely detailed engraving. On the reverse, the engraved figure is front and centre as the main focus of the design; on the memorial, the limestone carving stands on the northeast edge of the monument platform, where she looks down at a ground-level tomb. The Vimy Memorial is recreated behind and to the left of the grieving sculpture; set against the lined specimen background, the Vimy Memorial is depicted further in the distance to provide a full sense of the stately grandeur of this Canadian site of remembrance overseas. To the right of Mother Canada are the large letters "VIMY". The obverse features the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Susanna Blunt.

Did you know…

German forces seized the seven-kilometre ridge and surrounding territory in 1914. The French had tried to recapture it in May 1915 and again in September 1915, at a cost of up to 150,000 casualties—a higher number than the 100,000 Canadians who took part in the Battle of Vimy Ridge in 1917.

  • The Vimy Memorial was unveiled by King Edward VIII on July 26, 1936, in a ceremony attended by more than 100,000 people, including many veterans and dignitaries.
  • Visitors to the memorial in Vimy, France, can still view a portion of the Grange Tunnel, which was part of a network of underground passageways that were dug at least 10 metres beneath the ground.
  • For their individual acts of valour at Vimy, four Canadians were awarded the Victoria Cross Private William Milne, Lance-Sergeant Ellis Sifton,Captain Thain MacDowell and Private John Pattison.
  • The commander of the Canadian Corps, Lieutenant-General Julian Byng, was beloved by Canadian troops, who called themselves the Byng Boys. Raised to the peerage after the war, he was titled 1st Viscount of Vimy and was appointed Governor General of Canada from1921 to 1926.

 

The Battle

Intense preparations marked the weeks leading up to the offensive. Canada's troops used models and maps to rehearse and recreate the conditions they'd face during the attack. Tunnels were dug to the front lines and beneath No Man's Land, some equipped with rail lines, water, electricity and large storage bunkers. Each soldier would know his task, since infantrymen were assigned specialized roles such as grenade-throwers, riflemen and machine-gunners.

After an intense bombardment (dubbed the "Week of Suffering" by the German forces defending the ridge, the first  wave of 15,000 Canadian soldiers set out at 5:30 a.m. on April 9, 1917. Infantrymen advanced  [they weren't side by side, they used a new innovation of attacking in depth and in phases.]behind a creeping barrage of unrelenting artillery fire that was aimed just ahead of them to destroy and supress enemy defences This advance was carefully paced and timed to the minute. Within a half hour, Canadians had captured most of the front line and by noon, a large portion of the ridge was in Allied hands. Continued fighting allowed them to take the highest point, Hill 145, on April 10, and "the Pimple" on April 12. Defeated, the enemy retreated from the position they had occupied since 1914.

The Memorial

The Canadian National Vimy Memorial is located 14 kilometres north of the French city of Arras, on Hill 145, where it towers over the former battlefield. In 1922, the people of Canada were granted perpetual use of the battle-scarred land on Vimy Ridge, and in 1925, construction began on a monument that would honour all of Canada's soldiers who fought in the First World War

Completed in 1936, the Vimy Memorial was designed by Canadian sculptor Walter All ward in a modern classical style. The two 30-metre high pylons tower over the battlefield park, rising up from their stone and concrete base to represent Canada and France. All along the exterior walls are the inscribed names of the 11,285 Canadians who were killed in France during the First World War and have no known grave. This sense of loss is heightened by the prominent sculpture of "Canada Bereft" at the front of the memorial. One of 20 allegorical sculptures, the cloaked figure of Mother Canada bears a mournful expression to represent a nation mourning its lost sons, as she looks down at the ground-level sarcophagus adorned with laurel branches, a sword and a Brodie helmet.

Coupled with the preserved trenches and tunnels, Canada's powerful ode to the combatants of one war would survive another—even as Vimy fell once more behind enemy lines in 1940. Re-dedicated in2007 after an extensive restoration, the iconic Vimy Memorial remains one of Canada's most important monuments—a timeless symbol of valour, peace, honour and remembrance, but also a stirring reminder of the tragic cost of war.

So good!
Format: Kindle
The regret they had was so well written and not having the FMC give in so quickly was a good change from most of these type of books.

Hardcore bullying and mistreatment to HEA
Format: Kindle
First off the men do not know she is their scent match. This does not excuse the way the treated her. These men bought her in hopes of using and unregistered Omega to get info on the Omega they might as kids.  Every single one of these characters has been abused growing up. The men think she is just some spoiled princess and their way to find someone they have been searching for. What they don't expect is to slowly find themselves drawn to her more and more but not understanding why.  These men starting acting weird and possessive but never suspected why. Once they discover the truth they have to work really hard to make it up to her. Especially after she put them in contact with the Omega they had been looking for then she ran.  I definitely felt for these men as their story was revealed. I definitely wanted to hold them and promise they were safe now.  That little surprise at the end I definitely didn't expect but it was fantastic.

Rights Didn't Balance the Wrongs
Format: Kindle
Eva was sold to a pack as an unregistered Omega by her own father. Unwanted. They wanted her as a means to an end, not for who she was. But she knows the truth. They are her scent matches. They don't realize that because of the suppressants she is on. It's better this way. They would be slaves to biology if they knew, and now she knows the truth. Eva will gain her freedom, and when she does, she will make sure they realize exactly what they lost. I love a rejected mate's story with a good redemption arc. Bring on all the groveling. This wasn't as satisfying as I had hoped for. Too much spice, too little story. There was little romance, affection, or redemption. Consent was questionable. And Eva's fears about biology weren't disproven. The Alphas were controlled by their scent match, and Eva was no better. The Alphas didn't have any character growth. It wasn't only their "Omega" but all of the women they entertained in the house. Even sitting on the couch would have sent an Omega into hysterics. The house and furniture were ruined. Wrongs were done - trafficking, abuse, captivity, dubious sexual encounters. There weren't enough rights to balance out the wrongs, so the Alphas stayed ruined. There were no swoon-worthy declarations or actions. There were some gifts and some redecorating, but most was off-page. Where was the over-the-top shopping trip and romantic gestures? Where were the intimate conversations? Did they ever gain Eva's trust? I'm not even sure "I love you's" were exchanged by everyone. Was there love or only scent? I don't know, so this story was not a success for me.

Amazing read!!
Format: Kindle
Where to begin. I loved this book. The characters had a way of pulling you in and making you holding your breath at the same time. I absolutely loved the fmc. Eva has a way of being vulnerable but strong. She is unwilling to give up. The mmc’s are truly horrible at the beginning. With that being said, I still found myself rooting for them. Over time you could them changing and how even when they wanted to hate her they just couldn’t find it in them. A truly remarkable love came from a terrible beginning. Loved it!
