105 years ago the Canadians accomplished a great effort in World War One. The battle at Vimy Ridge in France.
Some photos I took from the TV at the 100th Anniversary celebrations in France.
The Vimy Foundation is a good website to explore the great battle.
One of our family members Ernest Adolphus Ellis participated in this great battle.
I have written about his story several times in this blog.
Just key in Ernie Ellis in the search and it will take you to those posts.
It is difficult to find photos of individual soldiers. Usually there are just group shots of battalions.
So the photo of Ernie around the age he would have served for the CEF- Canadian Forces.
We remember war so we do not have to experience it again.
It breaks all our hearts to see what is happening in Ukraine in the year 2022.
Here's to all who served and are serving now.
