National Memorial Arboretum - Pegasus Bridge Memorial Flight by Jackie & Dennis

4 3

A wonderful sculpture in a small glade surrounded by trees, so we tried out many different angles and picked this one from Dennis.

From www.warmemorialsonline.org.uk/memorial/251338

"The Pegasus Bridge Memorial Flight is a stunning sculpture... in stainless steel. It consists of 3 Horsa Gliders descending on a giant S. The gliders are of different sizes with .. the smallest at the top with a wingspan of 3 foot, the Middle glider 5ft and the lower one of 7 foot wingspan.... The giant S symbolises this most secret mission carried out in silence with utmost speed, using stealth and achieved complete surprise."

The sculpture was created by Bromley O'Hare AWCB. Blacksmith - Designer - Sculptor.

For more detail on the operation see www.dday-overlord.com/en/d-day/air-operations/commonwealt...

Teschners Figurenspiegel by Anita Pravits

5

In der Stabfiguren-Technik hat Richard Teschner (1879–1948), einer der bemerkenswertesten Vertreter des Wiener Jugendstils, neue Maßstäbe gesetzt. Teschner war außergewöhnlich vielseitig begabt: Er war Maler, Graphiker, Bildhauer, Puppenspieler und noch vieles mehr. Mit seinem revolutionären Figurentheater schuf er von den Puppen über die Stücke bis hin zur Bühnentechnik und Begleitmusik ein theatralisches Gesamtkunstwerk. Ausgehend von der javanischen Stabfigur entwickelte er einen neuen, ausdrucksvollen Puppentypus für seine pantomimischen Spiele. Die Überwindung der herkömmlichen Guckkastenbühne führte zum einzigartigen Rund des Figurenspiegels mit Bildern von großer Schönheit und suggestiver Wirkung.

In techniques for rod-puppets, Richard Teschner, one of the most notable representatives of Viennese art nouveau, set new standards. Teschner was a man of exceptionally diverse gifts: he was a painter, graphic designer, sculptor, puppeteer and much more. With his revolutionary theatre of figures, he created an integrated theatrical work of art encompassing everything from puppets to plays, stagecraft and incidental music. Using the Javanese rod-puppets as his model, he developed a new, expressive puppet variety for his pantomimic plays. Overcoming the traditional proscenium stage led to the unique round of the Magic Mirror, which gave rise to images of great beauty and suggestive effect.

edward street park entrance pillars by Andy P

Edward Street Park Entrance Pillars.

Not a park in the struct sense of the word. There is a small flat green area with basketball hoops and a grass slope surrounded by student accommodation.

Asterism #2

Artist: David Appleyard

David Appleyard

A pair of carved Yorkstone posts to mark the entrance to Edward Street Park, Sheffield. The subtle form of the entrance features is based on a pair of parentheses/brackets and the intricate pattern is made up of a repeated asterisk. Bronze asterisk studs have been installed in throughout the park. These symbols give a nod to the old Stevenson Blake Type Foundry which once occupied the lower end of Edward Street Park.

Location – Edward Street Park, Sheffield

Material – Yorkstone and Cast Bronze

Vimy (Pas-de-Calais) - Canadian War Memorial and its History by pepandtim

The Postcard

A postally unused carte postale that was published by G. Stubbs with photography by CAP. The image is a glossy real photograph.

The Canadian National Vimy Memorial

The Canadian National Vimy Memorial is a war memorial site in France dedicated to the memory of Canadian Expeditionary Force members who were killed during the Great War.

It also serves as the place of commemoration for Canadian soldiers of the Great War who were killed or are presumed dead in France who have no known grave.

The monument is the centrepiece of a 100-hectare (250-acre) preserved battlefield park that encompasses a portion of the ground over which the Canadian Corps made their assault during the initial Battle of Vimy Ridge offensive during the Battle of Arras.

The Battle of Vimy Ridge was the first time all four divisions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force participated in a battle as a cohesive formation, and it became a Canadian national symbol of achievement and sacrifice.

France ceded to Canada perpetual use of a portion of land on Vimy Ridge on the understanding that Canada use the land to establish a battlefield park and memorial.

Wartime tunnels, trenches, craters, and unexploded munitions still honeycomb the grounds of the site, which remains largely closed off for reasons of public safety. Because of unexploded ordnance under much of the grassy area around the memorial, it is too dangerous to mow the grass, and so it is kept short by a flock of sheep.

Along with preserved trench lines, several other memorials and cemeteries are contained within the park.

The project took designer Walter Seymour Allward eleven years to build. King Edward VIII unveiled it on the 26th. July 1936 in the presence of French President Albert Lebrun and a crowd of over 50,000 people, including 6,200 attendees from Canada.

Following an extensive multi-year restoration, Queen Elizabeth II re-dedicated the monument on the 9th. April 2007 at a ceremony commemorating the 90th. anniversary of the battle. The site is maintained by Veterans Affairs Canada.

The Vimy Memorial is one of only two National Historic Sites of Canada located outside the country, the other being the Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundland Memorial.

Vimy Ridge

Vimy Ridge is a gradually rising escarpment on the western edge of the Douai Plains, eight kilometres (5.0 mi) northeast of Arras. The ridge gradually rises on its western side, dropping more quickly on the eastern side. The ridge is approximately seven kilometres (4.3 mi) in length, 700 metres (2,300 ft) wide at its narrowest point, and culminates at an elevation of 145 metres (476 ft) above sea level, or 60 metres (200 ft) above the Douai Plains, providing a natural unobstructed view for tens of kilometres in all directions.

Early Conflicts on the Site

Vimy Ridge fell under German control in October 1914, during the Race to the Sea, as the Franco-British and German forces continually attempted to outflank each other through northeastern France.

The French Tenth Army attempted to dislodge the Germans from the region during the Second Battle of Artois in May 1915 by attacking their positions at Vimy Ridge and Notre Dame de Lorette.

During the attack, the French 1st. Moroccan Division briefly captured the height of the ridge, where the Vimy memorial is currently located, but was unable to hold it owing to a lack of reinforcements.

The French made another attempt during the Third Battle of Artois in September 1915, but were once again unsuccessful in capturing the top of the ridge. The French suffered approximately 150,000 casualties in their attempts to gain control of Vimy Ridge and the surrounding territory.

The British XVII Corps relieved the French Tenth Army from the sector in February 1916. On the 21st. May 1916, the German infantry attacked the British lines along a 1,800-metre (2,000 yd) front in an effort to force them from positions along the base of the ridge.

The Germans captured several British-controlled tunnels and mine craters before halting their advance and entrenching their positions. Temporary Lieutenant Richard Basil Brandram Jones was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross for his ultimately unsuccessful defence of the Broadmarsh Crater during the attack.

British counter-attacks on the 22nd. May did not manage to change the situation. The Canadian Corps relieved the British IV Corps stationed along the western slopes of Vimy Ridge in October 1916.

The Battle of Vimy Ridge

The nature and size of the planned Canadian Corps assault necessitated support and resources beyond its normal operational capabilities. Consequently, the British 5th. Infantry Division and supplementary artillery, engineer and labour units reinforced the four Canadian divisions already in place.

The attack began at 5:30 am on Easter Monday, the 9th. April 1917. Light field guns laid down a barrage that advanced in predetermined increments of 91 metres (100 yds) every three minutes, while medium and heavy howitzers established a series of standing barrages against known defensive systems further ahead.

The 1st., 2nd., and 3rd. Canadian Divisions quickly captured their first objectives. The 4th. Canadian Division encountered a great deal of trouble during its advance, and was unable to complete its first objective until some hours later.

The 1st., 2nd., and 3rd. Canadian Divisions captured their second objective by approximately 7:30 am. The failure of the 4th. Canadian Division to capture the top of the ridge delayed further advances and forced the 3rd. Canadian Division to expend resources establishing a defensive line to its north.

Reserve units from the 4th. Canadian Division renewed the attack on the German positions on the top of the ridge and eventually forced the German troops holding the southwestern portion of Hill 145 to withdraw.

On the morning of the 10th. April, Canadian Corps commander Lieutenant-General Julian Byng moved up three fresh brigades to support the continued advance. The fresh units leapfrogged units already in place, and captured the third objective line, including Hill 135 and the town of Thélus, by 11:00 am.

By 2:00 pm both the 1st. and 2nd. Canadian Divisions reported capturing their final objectives. By this point the "Pimple", a heavily defended knoll west of the town of Givenchy-en-Gohelle, was the only German position remaining on Vimy Ridge.

On the 12th. April, the 10th. Canadian Brigade attacked and quickly overcame the hastily entrenched German troops, with the support of artillery and the 24th. British Division.

By nightfall on the 12th. April, the Canadian Corps was in firm control of the ridge. The Canadian Corps suffered 10,602 casualties: 3,598 killed and 7,004 wounded. The German Sixth Army suffered an unknown number of casualties, and around 4,000 men became prisoners of war.

Although the battle is not generally considered Canada's greatest military feat of arms, the image of national unity and achievement imbued the battle with considerable national significance for Canada.

According to Pierce:

"The historical reality of the battle has

been reworked and reinterpreted in a

conscious attempt to give purpose and

meaning to an event that came to

symbolize Canada's coming of age as

a nation."

The idea that Canada's identity and nationhood were born out of the battle is an opinion that is widely held in military and general histories of Canada.

History of the Vimy Canadian War Memorial

In 1920, the Government of Canada announced that the Imperial War Graves Commission had awarded Canada eight sites—five in France and three in Belgium—on which to erect memorials. Each site represented a significant Canadian engagement, and the Canadian government initially decided that each battlefield be treated equally and commemorated with identical monuments.

In September 1920, the Canadian government formed the Canadian Battlefields Memorials Commission to discuss the holding of a memorial competition for the sites in Europe.

The commission held its first meeting on the 26th. November 1920, and during this meeting decided that the architectural design competition would be open to all Canadian architects, designers, sculptors, and artists.

The jury consisted of Charles Herbert Reilly representing the Royal Institute of British Architects, Paul Philippe Cret representing the Société Centrale des Architectes Français, and Frank Darling representing the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada.

Each jury member was a leader in the architectural field; Reilly was training students in design and development of war memorials, and Cret had been selected by the United States to design national monuments in Europe.

Interested parties submitted 160 design drawings, and the jury selected 17 submissions for consideration, commissioning each finalist to produce a plaster maquette of their respective design.

The jury recommended that two of the designs be executed. In October 1921, the commission formally selected the submission of Toronto sculptor and designer Walter Seymour Allward as the winner of the competition; the design submitted by Frederick Chapman Clemesha was selected as runner-up.

Allward's other commissions included the national memorial commemorating Canada's participation in the South African War (1899–1902).

The complexity of Allward's design precluded the possibility of duplicating the design at each site. The approach of selecting one primary memorial ran counter to the recommendation of Canadian Battlefields Memorials Commission architectural advisor Percy Erskine Nobbs, who had consistently expressed his preference for a series of smaller monuments.

The consensus went in Allward's favour, his design receiving both public and critical approval. The commission revised its initial plans and decided to build two distinctive memorials—those of Allward and Clemesha—and six smaller identical memorials.

At the outset, members of the commission debated where to build Allward's winning design. The jury's assessment was that Allward's submission was best suited to "A low hill rather than to a continuous and lofty bluff or cliff like Vimy Ridge".

The commission initially recommended placing the monument in Belgium on Hill 62, near the location of the Battle of Mont Sorrel, as the site provided an imposing view.

This ran counter to the desires of Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King who, while speaking in the House of Commons of Canada in May 1922, argued in favour of placing the memorial at Vimy Ridge. King's position received the unanimous support of the House and, in the end, the commission selected Vimy Ridge as the preferred site.

The government announced its desire to acquire a more considerable tract of land along the ridge after the commission had selected Vimy Ridge as the preferred location for Allward's design.

The Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada, Rodolphe Lemieux went to France to negotiate the acquisition of more land. On the 5th. December 1922, Lemieux concluded an agreement with France in which France granted Canada "freely and for all time" the use of 100 hectares (250 acres) of land on Vimy Ridge, inclusive of Hill 145, in recognition of Canada's war effort.

The only condition placed on the donation was that Canada use the land to erect a monument commemorating Canadian soldiers killed during the Great War and assume the responsibility for the maintenance of the memorial and the surrounding battlefield park.

Construction of The Memorial

Following the competition, Allward sold his home and studio, and departed for Belgium on the 6th. June 1922. He spent several months seeking a suitable studio in Belgium and then Paris, though he eventually set up a studio in London.

Allward had initially hoped to use white marble for the memorial's facing stone, but Percy Nobbs suggested this would be a mistake because marble was unlikely to weather well in northern France, and the memorial would have a "ghost like" appearance.

Allward undertook a tour of almost two years to find stone of the right colour, texture, and luminosity. He found it in the ruins of Diocletian's Palace at Split, Croatia; he observed that the palace had not weathered over the years, which Allward took as evidence of the stone's durability.

His choice—Seget limestone—came from an ancient Roman quarry located near Seget, Croatia. Difficulties with the quarrying process, coupled with complicated transportation logistics, delayed delivery of the limestone and thus construction of the memorial. The first shipment did not arrive at the site until 1927, and the larger blocks, intended for the human figures, did not begin to arrive until 1931.

On Allward's urging, the Canadian Battlefields Memorials Commission hired Oscar Faber, a Danish structural engineer, in 1924 to prepare foundation plans and to provide general supervision of the foundation work.

Faber had recently designed the substructure for the Menin Gate at Ypres, and he selected a design that employed cast-in-place reinforced concrete to which the facing stone would be bonded.

Major Unwin Simson served as the principal Canadian engineer during the construction of the memorial and oversaw much of the daily operations at the site. Allward moved to Paris in 1925 to supervise construction and the carving of the sculptures.

Construction commenced in 1925, and took eleven years to complete. The Imperial War Graves Commission employed French and British veterans to carry out the necessary roadwork and site landscaping.

While awaiting the first delivery of stone, Simson noticed that the battlefield landscape features were beginning to deteriorate.

Seeing an opportunity to not only preserve a portion of the battlefield but also keep his staff occupied, Simson decided to preserve a short section of trench line and make the Grange Subway more accessible. Labourers rebuilt and preserved sections of sandbagged trench wall, on both the Canadian and German sides of the Grange crater group, in concrete. The workforce also built a new concrete entrance for the Grange Subway and, after excavating a portion of the tunnel system, installed electric lighting.

Allward chose a relatively new construction method for the monument: limestone bonded to a cast concrete frame. A foundation bed of 11,000 tonnes of concrete, reinforced with hundreds of tonnes of steel, served as the support bed for the memorial.

The memorial base and twin pylons contained almost 6,000 tonnes of Seget limestone. Sculptors carved the 20 approximately double life-sized human figures on site from large blocks of stone. The carvers used half-size plaster models produced by Allward in his studio, now on display at the Canadian War Museum, and a pantograph to reproduce the figures at the proper scale. The carvers conducted their work year-round inside temporary studios built around each figure.

The inclusion of the names of those killed in France with no known grave was not part of the original design, and Allward was unhappy when the government asked him to include them. Allward argued that the inclusion of names was not part of the original commissioning. Through a letter to the Canadian Battlefields Memorials Commission in October 1927, Allward indicated his intention to relegate the names of the missing to pavement stones around the monument.

The collective dismay and uproar of the commission forced Allward to relent and incorporate the names of the missing on the memorial walls. The task of inscribing the names did not begin until the early 1930's and employed a typeface that Allward designed for the monument.

The Pilgrimage

In 1919, the year after the war ended, around 60,000 British tourists and mourners made pilgrimages to the Western Front. The transatlantic voyage was longer and more expensive from Canada; many attempts to organize large pilgrimages failed, and journeys overseas were largely made individually or in small, unofficial groups.

The delegates of the 1928 national convention of the Canadian Legion passed a unanimous resolution asking that a pilgrimage be organised to the Western Front battlefields. A plan began to take form wherein the Legion aimed to coordinate the pilgrimage with the unveiling of the Vimy memorial, which at the time was expected to be completed in 1931 or 1932.

Due to construction delays with the memorial, it was not until July 1934 that the Canadian Legion announced a pilgrimage to former battlefield sites in conjunction with the unveiling of the memorial. Although the exact date of the memorial unveiling was still not set, the Legion invited former service members to make tentative reservations with their headquarters in Ottawa. The response from veterans and their families was enthusiastic—1,200 inquiries were made by November 1934.

The Legion presumptuously announced that the memorial would be unveiled on Dominion Day, the 1st. July 1936, even though the government still did not know when it would be completed.

For event planning purposes, the Legion and the government established areas for which each was responsible. The government was responsible for selection of the official delegation and the program for the official unveiling of the memorial.

The Legion was responsible for the more challenging task of organising the pilgrimage. For the Legion this included planning meals, accommodations and transportation for what was at the time the largest single peacetime movement of people from Canada to Europe.

The Legion took the position that the pilgrimage would be funded by its members without subsidies or financial aid from Canadian taxpayers, and by early 1935 they had established that the price of the 3½-week trip, inclusive of all meals, accommodation, health insurance, and sea and land transportation would be CA$160 per person ($3,002 as of 2016).

Indirect assistance came in a number of forms. The government waived passport fees and made a special Vimy passport available to pilgrims at no extra cost. The government and private sector also provided paid leave for their participating employees.

It was not until April 1936 that the government was prepared to publicly commit to an unveiling date, the 26th. July 1936.

On the 16th. July, five transatlantic liners, escorted by HMCS Champlain and HMCS Saguenay, departed the Port of Montreal with approximately 6,200 passengers and arrived in Le Havre on the 24th. and 25th. July.

The limited accommodation made it necessary for the Legion to lodge pilgrims in nine cities throughout northern France and Belgium, and employ 235 buses to move the pilgrims between various locations.

The Unveiling of the Memorial

On the 26th. July, the day of the ceremony, pilgrims spent the morning and early afternoon exploring the landscape of the memorial park before congregating at the monument. For the ceremony, sailors from HMCS Saguenay provided the guard of honour.

Also present were The Royal Canadian Horse Artillery Band, French army engineers, and French-Moroccan cavalry who had fought on the site during the Second Battle of Artois. The ceremony itself was broadcast live by the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission over shortwave radio, with facilities of the British Broadcasting Corporation transmitting the ceremony to Canada.

Senior Canadian, British, and European officials, including French President Albert Lebrun, and a crowd of over 50,000 attended the event. Absent, though, was Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King, it being well understood that he was generally not comfortable around veterans, and felt it more appropriate for a war veteran in Cabinet to act as minister in attendance.

Before the ceremony began, Edward VIII, present in his capacity as King of Canada, inspected the guard of honour, was introduced to the honoured guests, and spent approximately half an hour speaking with veterans in the crowd. Two Royal Air Force and two French Air Force squadrons flew over the monument and dipped their wings in salute.

The ceremony itself began with prayers from chaplains representing the Church of England, the United Church of Canada, and the Roman Catholic Church. Ernest Lapointe, Canadian Minister of Justice, spoke first, followed by Edward VIII who, in both French and English, thanked France for its generosity and assured those assembled that Canada would never forget its war missing and dead.

The King then pulled the Royal Union Flag from the central figure of Canada Bereft and the military band played the Last Post. The ceremony was one of the King's few official duties before he abdicated the throne.

The pilgrimage continued, and most participants toured Ypres before being taken to London to be hosted by the British Legion.

The Memorial and The Second World War

In 1939, the increased threat of conflict with Nazi Germany amplified the Canadian government's level of concern for the general safety of the memorial. Canada could do little more than protect the sculptures and the bases of the pylons with sandbags and await developments.

When war did break out in September 1939, the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) deployed to France and assumed responsibility for the Arras sector, which included Vimy.

In late May 1940, following the British retreat to Dunkirk after the Battle of Arras, the status and condition of the memorial became unknown to Allied forces. The Germans took control of the site and held the site's caretaker, George Stubbs, in an internment camp for Allied civilians in St. Denis, France.

The rumoured destruction of the Vimy Memorial, either during the fighting or at the hands of the Germans, was widely reported in Canada and the United Kingdom. The rumours led the German Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda to formally deny accusations that Germany had damaged or desecrated the memorial.

To demonstrate that the memorial had not been desecrated, Adolf Hitler, who reportedly admired the memorial for its peaceful nature, was photographed by the press while personally touring it and the preserved trenches on the 2nd. June 1940. The undamaged state of the memorial was not confirmed until September 1944 when British troops of the 2nd. Battalion, the Welsh Guards of the Guards Armoured Division, recaptured Vimy Ridge.

The Memorial in the Post-War Years

Immediately following the Second World War, very little attention was paid to the Battle of Vimy Ridge or the Vimy Memorial. The Winnipeg Free Press and The Legionary, the magazine of the Royal Canadian Legion, were the only publications to note the 35th. anniversary of the battle in 1952.

The 40th. anniversary in 1957 received even less notice, with only the Halifax Herald making any mention of it.

Interest in commemoration remained low in the early 1960's but increased in 1967 with the 50th. anniversary of the battle, paired with the Canadian Centennial. A heavily attended ceremony at the memorial in April 1967 was broadcast live on television.

Commemoration of the battle decreased once again throughout the 1970's and only returned in force with the 125th. anniversary of Canadian Confederation and the widely covered 75th. anniversary of the battle in 1992. The 1992 ceremony at the memorial was attended by Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and at least 5,000 people. Subsequent smaller-scale ceremonies were held at the memorial in 1997 and 2002.

Restoration and Rededication

By the end of the century, the many repairs undertaken since the memorial's construction had left a patchwork of materials and colours, and a disconcerting pattern of damage from water intrusion at the joints.

In May 2001, the Government of Canada announced the Canadian Battlefield Memorials Restoration Project, a major CA$30 million restoration project to restore Canada's memorial sites in France and Belgium, in order to maintain and present them in a respectful and dignified manner.

In 2005, the Vimy memorial closed for major restoration work. Veterans Affairs Canada directed the restoration of the memorial in cooperation with other Canadian departments, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, consultants and specialists in military history.

Time, wear, and severe weather conditions led to many identified problems, the single most pervasive being water damage. In building a memorial made of cast concrete covered in stone, Allward had failed to take into account how these materials would shift over time.

The builders and designer failed to incorporate sufficient space between the concrete and stones, which resulted in water infiltrating the structure through its walls and platforms, dissolving lime in the concrete foundation and masonry.

As the water exited, it deposited the lime on exterior surfaces, obscuring many of the names inscribed thereon. Poor drainage and water flows off the monument also caused significant deterioration of the platform, terrace, and stairs.

The restoration project was intended to address the root causes of damage, and included repairs to the stone, walkways, walls, terraces, stairs, and platforms.

In order to respect Allward's initial vision of a seamless structure, the restoration team were required to remove all foreign materials employed in patchwork repairs, replace damaged stones with material from the original quarry in Croatia, and correct all minor displacement of stones caused by freeze-thaw activity. Underlying structural flaws were also corrected.

Queen Elizabeth II, escorted by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, rededicated the restored memorial on the 9th. April 2007 in a ceremony commemorating the 90th. anniversary of the battle. Other senior Canadian officials, including Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and senior French representatives, Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin among them, attended the event, along with thousands of Canadian students, veterans of the Second World War and of more recent conflicts, and descendants of those who fought at Vimy. The crowd attending the rededication ceremony was the largest crowd on the site since the 1936 dedication.

The Centennial Commemoration

The centennial commemoration of the Battle of Vimy Ridge took place at the memorial on the 9th. April 2017, coincidentally during the Canadian sesquicentennial celebrations. Estimates before the event indicated that an audience of up to 30,000 would be present. The Mayor of Arras, Frédéric Leturque, thanked Canadians, along with Australians, Britons, New Zealanders and South Africans, for their role in the Great War battles in the area.

Attending dignitaries for Canada included Governor General David Johnston; Prince Charles; Prince William, Duke of Cambridge; Prince Harry; and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. President François Hollande and Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve represented France.

Elizabeth II issued a statement via the Governor General, remarking:

"Canadians fought courageously and with

great ingenuity in winning the strategic high

point of Vimy Ridge, though victory came at

a heavy cost".

Two postage stamps were released jointly by Canada Post and France's La Poste featuring the memorial, one designed by each country, to commemorate the centennial of the Battle of Vimy Ridge.

The Vimy Memorial

Allward constructed the memorial on the vantage point of Hill 145, the highest point on the ridge. The memorial contains many stylized features, including 20 human figures, which help the viewer in contemplating the structure as a whole.

-- The Front Wall

The front wall, normally mistaken for the rear, is 7.3 metres (24 ft) high and represents an impenetrable wall of defence. There is a group of figures at each end of the front wall, next to the base of the steps.

-- The Breaking of the Sword

The Breaking of the Sword is located at the southern corner of the front wall, while Sympathy of the Canadians for the Helpless is located at the northern corner. Collectively, the two groups are The Defenders, and represent the ideals for which Canadians gave their lives during the war.

There is a cannon barrel draped in laurel and olive branches carved into the wall above each group, to symbolize victory and peace. In Breaking of the Sword, three young men are present, one of whom is crouching and breaking his sword.

This statue represents the defeat of militarism and the general desire for peace. This grouping of figures is the most overt image to pacifism in the monument, the breaking of a sword being extremely uncommon in war memorials.

The original plan for the sculpture included one figure crushing a German helmet with his foot. It was later decided to dismiss this feature because of its overtly militaristic imagery.

-- Sympathy of the Canadians for the Helpless

In Sympathy of the Canadians for the Helpless, one man stands erect while three other figures, stricken by hunger or disease, are crouched and kneeling around him. The standing man represents Canada's sympathy for the weak and oppressed.

-- Canada Bereft

The figure of a cloaked young woman stands on top and at the centre of the front wall and overlooks the Douai Plains. She has her head bowed, her eyes cast down, and her chin resting in one hand. Below her at ground level is a sarcophagus, bearing a Brodie helmet and a sword, and draped in laurel branches.

The saddened figure of Canada Bereft, also known as Mother Canada, is a national personification of the young nation of Canada, mourning her dead.

The statue, a reference to traditional images of the Mater Dolorosa and presented in a similar style to that of Michelangelo's Pietà, faces eastward, looking out to the dawn of the new day.

Unlike the other statues on the monument, stonemasons carved Canada Bereft from a single 30 tonne block of stone. The statue is the largest single piece in the monument and serves as a focal point.

-- The Amphitheatre

The area in front of the memorial was turned into a grassed space, which Allward referred to as the amphitheatre. It fans out from the monument's front wall for a distance of 270 feet (82 m), while the battle-damaged landscape around the sides and back of the monument have been left untouched.

-- The Twin Pylons

The twin pylons rise to a height 30 metres above the memorial's stone platform. One bears the maple leaf for Canada, and the other the fleur-de-lis for France, and both symbolise the unity and sacrifice of the two countries.

Large crosses adorn the outside of each pylon.

-- The Chorus

At the top of the pylons is a grouping of figures known collectively as the Chorus. The most senior figures represent Justice and Peace; Peace stands with a torch upraised, making it the highest point in the region. The pair is in a style similar to Allward's previously commissioned statues of Truth and Justice, located outside the Supreme Court of Canada in Ottawa.

The remainder of the Chorus is located directly below the senior figures: Faith, Hope and Truth on the eastern pylon; and Honour, Charity and Knowledge on the western pylon. Around these figures are shields of Canada, Britain, and France.

-- The Spirit of Sacrifice

The Great War battle honours of the Canadian regiments, and a dedicatory message to Canada's war dead in both French and English are located at the base of the pylons.

The Spirit of Sacrifice is located at the base between the two pylons. In the display, a young dying soldier is gazing upward in a crucifixion-like pose, having thrown his torch to a comrade who holds it aloft behind him.

In a lightly veiled reference to the poem 'In Flanders Fields' by Canadian physician John McCrae, the torch is passed from one comrade to another in an effort to keep alive the memory of the war dead.

-- The Mourning Parents

The Mourning Parents, one male and one female figure, are reclining on either side of the western steps on the reverse side of the monument. They represent the mourning mothers and fathers of the nation, and are patterned on the four statues by Michelangelo on the Medici Tomb in Florence.

-- The Names of the Fallen

Inscribed on the outside wall of the monument are the names of the 11,285 Canadians who were killed in France and whose final resting place is unknown.

Most Commonwealth War Graves Commission memorials present names in a descending list format in a manner that permits the modification of panels as remains are found and identified.

Allward instead sought to present the names as a seamless list, and decided to do so by inscribing the names in continuous bands, across both vertical and horizontal seams, around the base of the monument.

This layout meant that as remains were discovered, it was not possible to remove commemorated names without interrupting the seamless list, and as a consequence there are individuals who have a known grave but who are commemorated on the memorial.

The memorial contains the names of four posthumous Victoria Cross recipients; Robert Grierson Combe, Frederick Hobson, William Johnstone Milne, and Robert Spall.

The Tunnels

The Great War's Western Front included an extensive system of tunnels, subways, and dugouts. The Grange Subway is a tunnel system that is approximately 800 metres (870 yd) in length and once connected the reserve lines to the front line. This permitted soldiers to advance to the front quickly, securely, and unseen. A portion of this tunnel system is open to the public through regular guided tours provided by Canadian student guides.

The Arras-Vimy sector was conducive to tunnel excavation owing to the soft, porous yet extremely stable nature of the chalk underground. As a result, pronounced underground warfare had been a feature of the Vimy sector since 1915.

In preparation for the Battle of Vimy Ridge, five British tunnelling companies excavated 12 subways along the Canadian Corps' front, the longest of which was 1.2 kilometres (1,300 yd) in length. The tunnellers excavated the subways at a depth of 10 metres to ensure protection from large calibre howitzer shellfire. The subways were often dug at a pace of four metres a day and were two metres tall and one metre wide.

This underground network often incorporated concealed light rail lines, hospitals, command posts, water reservoirs, ammunition stores, mortar and machine gun posts, and communication centres.

The Lieutenant-Colonel Mike Watkins Memorial

Near the Canadian side of the restored trenches is a small memorial plaque dedicated to Lieutenant-Colonel Mike Watkins MBE. Watkins was head of Explosive Ordnance Disposal, Royal Logistic Corps, and a leading British explosive ordnance disposal expert.

In August 1998, he died in a roof collapse near a tunnel entrance while undertaking a detailed investigative survey of the British tunnel system on the grounds of the Canadian National Vimy Memorial site.

Watkins was no stranger to the tunnel system at Vimy Ridge. Earlier the same year, he participated in the successful disarming of 3 tonnes of deteriorated ammonal explosives located under a road intersection on the site.
