Vimy

Monday, January 19, 2009
Judy lent me Pierre Berton’s book on Vimy.



I always bring a book down with the intention of reading it, but as most of you know, I have trouble finishing a magazine article!! Well today I finished the book!!! But as you can see it was very tough sledding!



A very sobering story about the WWI battle. This should be required reading for everyone in high school.

These guys spent months in water filled trenches loaded with rats. Way to many of them (in the prime of their life) never came back.


Have added going to Vimy to my “50 Things to Do Before I Die” list.
