Remembering the battle
that united Canadians.
“During World War I, Canadian soldiers achieved what more experienced soldiers from Britain and France could not — taking the strategic position of Vimy Ridge from the Germans. It was the battle that helped a young country discover its national pride, as for the first time, Canadians fought as Canadians, and achieved a significant victory.” – excerpt from Hugh Brewster's At Vimy RidgeWith numerous photographs, illustrations and maps, newspaper coverage of the day, remembrances of soldiers, and information on the memorial in France, At Vimy Ridge gives young readers an appreciation of how Canada came of age when her soldiers triumphed in 1917. About the author: Hugh Brewster won the Children's Literature Roundtables of Canada Information Book Award in 2006 for On Juno Beach. He is the author of a number of award-winning books on historical subjects. Intended for ages 8 and up. |
