  • Resumen

  • In this latest episode, we visit the battlefield where my journey through the Great War began some 35 years ago - Vimy Ridge.

    We look at what happened in this part of the front and have a brief look at the battle of the 9th April 1917, before we travel around some of the cemeteries and memorials that cover this part of the battlefield.

    We begin at the French National Cemetery at Notre Dame de Lorrette where we discover the story behind how the Basilica got its name. We hear about the death of a great French cyclist before we visit the remarkable Ring of Peace memorial.

    Heading down into the valley, we hear about General Barbot, and visit the massive cemetery at Caberet Rouge before visiting the Canadian memorial on top of Vimy Ridge.
