Weeping Mother of Canada
I apologize for the terrible scan quality. I don't have a scanner, and this image was scanned in 2002 after i returned from School in England.
This is the Vimy Ridge Memorial in Vimy France. This sculpture is the weeping mother over the loss of life, at the front of the monument looking across the Douai Plain. Canadian Soldiers fought up the ridge towards this point in April 1917 at the Battle of Vimy Ridge. As i am leaving today for Ottawa for the Remembrance Day Ceremony on Sunday, i wanted to post these two images of the Vimy Monument in honour of those who gave their lives in the service of our country.
