October - Trip to France (Day 4)

After a magical Wednesday, we had to set off home. But - its an important time of the year - so we stopped off and spent a thought provoking two hours at the Vimy Ridge Memorial in Northern France. This was the scene of a tremendous four day battle in April 1917 which the Allies (mainly the Canadians) eventually won and they took Vimy Ridge, an area held by the German Army for nearly two years. Its a "wonderful" place; go there if you ever get the chance.
