Today is the National Day of Remembrance of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. The battle of Vimy Ridge occurred on April 9, 1917 during World War 1. In this pivotal battle, Canadian forces, for the first time, fought together under one command, demonstrating remarkable unity and courage. Over 3,600 Canadians lost their lives during the four-day struggle, before emerging victorious. The battle showcased Canada’s military prowess, unity, and determination, and it remains a point of pride for Canadians. The sacrifices made by those brave soldiers are commemorated annually on the anniversary of this historic event, serving as a solemn reminder of their courage and commitment to freedom and peace.

This photograph is of Mr. Ivan Tophan in his First World War uniform with his arm in a cast. He was injured and partially disabled in the battle of Vimy Ridge, and served with the 209th Artillery Battalion. Mr. Tophan ran a lumberyard in Eastend, Sk., and later ranched in that area for many years. 📷 0507.0001
