I’ll never forget Vimy Ridge. (Lieutenant Frank Benjamin Conrad)
The attack was to start at 5 o’clock Monday morning, April the 9. Easter Monday Morning. (Lieutenant John Percy Copp)
It started in such a noise I had never heard and hope I never will again. (Lance-Corporal Whitfield Thomas Ganong)
The duty of the Canadian Corps was to capture Vimy ridge and they did it. (Major Orvil Ard Elliott)
I only hope that when the total casualty lists are made up that they are not too heavy. (Major Orvil Ard Elliott)
That was quite a day, one which I never want to go through again. (Lieutenant John Percy Copp)
