Military > popular all-time > Canadian Vimy Memorial Reconciliation - I thought of the memorials found in every French village, not for those fallen in this war but those who were "Mort pour la France" in the First World War. That and the Treaty of Versailles whose terms both humiliated and bankrupted the fledgling democracy of the German Wiemar republic thus paving the way for National Socialism, Hitler and World War II. I remembered my feelings earlier in this trip, as I had stood between the white limestone spires of the Vimy Ridge Memorial, honouring the sixty-six thousand Canadians who perished in the First World War... The memorial, reputed to be the most beautiful in all of France, rises from the crest Hill 145, the highest point of the Ridge.
