So on march 12th flipping the shows on Prime I stumbled upon a documentary on Vimy Ridge.
It was about a cave underground in France close to the Vimy Ridge battlefield.
The documentary was made in 2007. The 90th anniversary of the Vimy Ridge battle.
It can be seen on You Tube. This is the link.

Or just google Vimy ridge underground tunnels and you will find the site.
The following link is very information information by Veterans Affairs about the Vimy Ridge tunnels.

I have written other posts on this Blog about Ernie Ellis and his war efforts.
If you want posts on August 5, 2014; April 9, 2015; May 15, 2019; April 9, 2022 and April 9, 2023.
I have detailed so much about Ernie's involvement. And in 2014 I made certificates for all our family members.
The Anniversary of Vimy Ridge is April 8.
1917 was the epic year for Canadians.
It is always good to honour and remember our military role in the world.
I don't have a photo of Ernie in uniform. The above photo is close to the time he served in World War One.
I wrote this article and posted to several facebook pages.
I always like to talk about Ernie's story to my grandchildren. Remembering all who served for Canada.
