"We went up the ridge as Albertans and Nova Scotians. We came down as Canadians"
- Vimy Ridge veteran, April 9th 1917.
Incredible!! Proud Manitoba Canadian!! 🇨🇦
Yeah i got chills
Proud to be a Nova Scotian, lest we forget
Proud to be a nova Scotian, and an army veteran at that
Why Canadian troops were/are considered the best assault troops of the Commonwealth army, they ran across no mans land, didnt just saunter across at a slow pace like us Brits. Time and time again we done it, cost us alot of young men. Thanks Canada, for WW2 as well, from the UK.
Rip
the thanks goes to those before us...thank you too
What a nice thing to say
WE ARE POWERFUL!!!
We did it to make you guys and the Frenchies proud
You brought a tear to my eye, thank you. I will say though that we proudly share that renown as shock troops of the British Empire with our friends the Aussies. ;)
Playing hockey made us impatient !
I just found out last night through research online that my Grandmother's brother died at Vimy Ridge. I knew he had died in "The Great War" but did not know the details. Buy coincidence it is the 100 year anniversary of the battle this week.
(Battle: 4/9/1917 - 4/12/1917). He was initially listed as missing in action, but was later found and pronounced dead on 4/29/191, he was just 18 years old. He lied about his age at enlistment (17). God rest your brave soul, Merton H. Goodwin!
Long Live Canada!!!
Rip
May he rest peacefully.
Forever a hero.
Rest easy 😇
God Bless.
RIP Heroes 🙏
My Grandpa volunteered with the CEF and survived many critical battles involving the Canadian Corps. - including the attack on Vimy Ridge. He would talk of his buddies, the mischief they got up to, the sound shrapnel made as it headed towards you, and he would sing some of the trench songs he’d learned. He would show my brother and I his MM, his spurs, his Stetson, his letter from King George, but never too much about his combat experience, or the battle wounds which impacted him throughout his entire life. Conversations like that were to be had at the legion with his fellow veterans. His generation was a stoic one. Facta non verba.
The French and British lost 150 000 men trying to take Vimy Ridge. The Germans even before the assault had given the Canadian troops the nick name "Storm Troops". It should be noted that when the Germans found out they had the Canadian Corps across from them they started making preparations for the worst.
@Logan Hilts dude, the battle was huge, it saved alot of lives allowing us to support our allies at the Somme who loss 100 000 lives on the first day of the damn battle, and i think you replied to the wrong comment, no one here said it was a turning point.
I like the fact that the Canadians in WW1 wore kilts. The Germans called them the ladies from Hell. I like that! One more very proud Canadian! 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
No they didn't. When did the British ever try and take Vimy Ridge? Stop reading the comic book version.
@@jonnyh9388 The British XVII corps fought alongside the Canadians. There's a 1920s house on Moorwell Road, Scunthorpe, in North Lincolnshire with "VIMY RIDGE" engraved in the lintel. In J B Priestley's English Journey he describes: "that first sight of Vimy Ridge in the snow, like a mountain of despair." Robin Witting
My great great uncle James Thomas Dolan of the 26th regiment was one of 3598 Canadians who died at Vimy ridge. He was killed on the first day, April 9th 1917. He will always be remembered by my family.
Hello 👋 my grandfather fought at VIMY RIDGE too. My GOG bess all of THEM. I'm so very PROUD of him ❤️ and all the others too!!! ( I'm exstreamly proud to be 4th generation CANADIAN) Because of all of them we are a FREE COUNTRY!
May GOG BLESS them 🙏 ALL
From your British brothers, we thank you and will never forget your sacrifice.
Always proud to be Canadian! Lest we forget the sacrifices of these men 🇨🇦
My Great Grandfather fought in both World Wars for Canada, his brother fought in WW1 and was a Sapper with the 3rd Canadian Tunnel Co, he was gassed, shot and eventually passed away due to complications. My Grandfather fought during WW2 for Canada, I got to tour with him just before he passed away, the places he served when he fought. We went to quite a few of WW1 monuments, Vimy was one of them, I remember when getting close to most of them, it seemed life stopped, seemed like only thing you could hear was the wind blowing, it is very eerie but they are so beautiful and makes you proud to be Canadian!
Wonderful presentation. When I studied Canadian history in high school, we definitely covered Vimy Ridge. There is no mention here of the silent tunnelling the Canadians did, mostly by miners from Ontario, some from my small mining town birthplace. They dug a tunnel beyond the German lines. When it was clear the Germans were about to attack, they blew up the ridge and thousands of German soldiers died instantly. Got an A+ for my essay in the topic, still have a copy of it although I’m 70 now. I was expecting the tunnelling to be part of this short doc. Enjoyable but incomplete. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
I sat down with my grandmother one on one for a bit of a catch up and chat today, where she shared with me the story of my great uncle and great grandfather, who both went to fight overseas and fought on Vimy Ridge..
Apparently they didn't know they were both there, until their superiors learned of this and put them together to fight. Apparently at some point when the fighting started, my great grandfather was called over to assist with one of the first wounded, and it was my great uncle, who I understand passed at that point or shortly thereafter. My great grandfather himself then continued to fight, where he himself fell on the battlefield some 3 to 4 hours later..
I feel saddened of their story but proud our their courage and conviction, to serve and stand for what is right, their warrior spirits surely still around me and in my blood on this day..
Thank you, gentlemen, and to all of these soldiers for the sacrifices you made so I could live with the freedoms that I today now enjoy.
I'll continue to honor these men in my own ways, but not sure who else to chat with really about this, so just thought I'd share..
May peace and wellbeing find you all..
to fight after witnessing a loss like that is unable to be described
To me this is the most stunning war memorial in Europe
Canadians do not commemorate wars, we honour and remember those young men who volunteered to fight those despicable wars. A mother's young son, scared, cold, tired and stressed. The whistle blew and they went over, into a storm of steel and death. In spite of it all, knowing that will likely be there last few breathes on earth...and they did it anyway. We will remember "them".
One of the many things that make me proud to be Canadian. Lest We Forget ❤️
While visiting the gravesite of my grandparents here in Vancouver, Beside them was a tall monument to a Canadian Soldier
Who had died at Vimmy Ridge, , My dad served in WWll in the RCN all 4 of my kids went threw Army cadets even the girl who aged out as chief warrant officer.... Much respect.for the brave Canadian men & women in our armed forces.
The Canadian soldier was one of the toughest during World War I. We are used to live under tough and hard condition.
Nearly brings a tear to my eye to think of how amazing and stalwart Canada once was and how much we pander to those who want to see us in ashes now.
will never forget their sacrifices
Amen
Nice touch to have Bill Shatner narrate this.
Thus we forget, the sacrifices of those great men. Proud to be Canadian
The faces . . . They're just young boys . . So grateful and thankful. Blessed to be on the upper 49th
My Great Uncle visited Vimy in 1917 ... somewhere near there he rests.
Wonderful work, nothing short of the top-notch documentary pieces!
went with my uniform on, never been thanked so much in my life for what my forefathers accomplished
Thanks for posting. My wife's great uncle from Montreal was killed at the Battle of the Somme. He was 16 years old. Nuff said.
Very proud for Canadians . This is a defining point in Canadian History . Never forget .
I will never forget the men that fought and died there or those that lived to see home again!
Thank You!
A young country comes of age...Vimy Ridge is Canada
mookie7475 it’s very emotional to visit, as a Scot. Can’t imagine what it must be like for a Canadian.
@@keithmitchell6548 How about a Scot and a Canadian. It was very moving.
Good old Bill. Hes not only living in the future, but also narrating the past.
Live long and prosper, Canada
He is an excellent narrator. 😀😀
Gives me goosebumps, proud to be Canadian
Thank you Canadian soldiers of Vimy Ridge .You did your country and Europe, proud. We love you all.
Visited it 3 times now and every time is amazes me.
We Will Remember Them...Town of Erin's Harold McConnell RIP 100 years ago killed in action April 9th 1917...Brave Son of Erin...

Yep. Been there. Amazing. All should go. Thank you Canada in both the first and second wars.
Although it was short this video was beautiful
🇦🇺 I just can’t comprehend the bravery and sacrifice

My great great grandfather fought in the battle he was a brave man
Why was the Vimy Ridge memorial removed from Canadian passports ? Oh Justine ? Proud and respectful of Canadian veterans, always.
That was a great video. My great uncle owen faught at vivy ridge.
My great great great grandfather was in the 16th division and now his name sits on vimy ridge
My Great Great Grandpa climbed those trenches and ran toward those bullets flying over that ridge. giving his life for our freedom, he died there in Vimy Ridge. RIP 4th .CMR Pvt. Napoleon, Paul died April 9th 1917.
I love this history
Lest we forget
Bf1 should have the canadian army next
I totally agree! The Canadian army was a force to be reckoned with and a big part of the first world war!
Battle of vimy ridge dlc would be great

Those were some hard men
Hitler visited the Vimy Memorial I believe in 1940 and there is a photo of him and his enterage looking at the memorial from a distance. He gave instructions that the memorial was NOT to be defiled in any way.
I will never forget !
i love this,its sad though he does not pronounce Lieutenant they way it should be.....
The way it should be pronounced is the way it’s spelled, and I don’t think lieutenant has an f in it.
@@a.morphous66 Colonels throughout the english-speaking world might disagree with your rule. The way Lieutenant is spelled is also french; "Lyeuht - non(t)". The Canadian Corps in the Great War would have used the Commonwealth pronunciation, which is "Leftenant".
Capt Kirk shows great respect to his military counterparts that had no idea what they were up against ... WWOne was idiotic massacre in the first degree... soilders worth less than mules or machines. ... make us proud with truth ... Thankyouverymuch
Ancestral DNA record, we are the prominent and renowned superhuman races of war soldiers from left to right columns at 1:11 to 1:13.
Canadians soldiers were like amazing
Former Scots Guardsman here. Britain has no better friend than the maple-sucking moose-humpers. Terrific soldiers and you have carved out a truly delightful country. God bless Canada.
When the Nazi's took France, Hitler ordered Vimy Ridge not to be touched or vandalized as even Adolf Hitler himself was impressed and admired the Canadian victory at Vimy Ridge
My great uncle died there.
Canuks are savage in times of war
Fascinating to think that roughly half the Canadian Corps- and up to 80% of some units- were British.
A year late.
But I'm thinking about
Writing a novel about the Canadian perspective of ww1.
All good in the hood.
Canadians. Thats it
Cracked a beer called "Vimy Ridge" - seems appropriate to watch this.
It's now 19 dislikes, and slowly but surely climbing ...what's it all about ??
... I think decent videos like this amass dislikes for various reasons ....
here are a few ..feel free to add to the list of reasons.
Clicking on the wrong place by accident, old and not have glasses on , ,,not English ...drunk ..??
Possibly some click dislike because they do not like what happened to the Canadians
Possibly a German didn't like Canada being glorified and nothing mentioned about the Brave Germans doing their duty ...
Kids who don't know better ...
With over 100,000 views the laws of average are that there will be some dislikes, it happens on all videos
I am angry at the people who disliked, I have been looking for evil comments after I saw them, I looked through every comment, found no mean comments, so probably people who just hate everything but don't want to have the consequences of that.
I TURNED MYSELF INTO A PICKLE, MORTY...
*I'M PICKLE RIIICK!!!*
You must feel so intelligent.
The first world war in Europe Continent was a great and bloodliest war that brought "comradeship unification military acts" between the English speaking soldiers and France speaking soldiers throughout the Canadian provinces, cities and territories, otherwise if there was no world war 1 the Canada could had been disintegrate, decentralized and torn by its civil disobedience political wars between the rivalries loyalist English speaking citizens and the loyalist France speaking citizens across the nation Canada. Who is am I by biologically and genetically personality characteristic appearances with those fellow valour Canadian comradeship soldiers at "left to right" columns 1:13? Skin colour is an outside symbol by nature. Beloved biological parents Mother and Father's characteristic personality genetic appearances and types from left to right columns under the great Canadian Confederate World War 1 Regimental Battalion soldiers.

DEDICATED NANOOK ESKIMOS
why is shatner voicing this .. he left Canada ... he's a yanker now.... somebody loyal to Canada should have done this
I will never understand why so many people think that this military accomplishment by the Canadian armed forces is something to boast about. All I can think about is how many young men from all sides lost their lives during this and all the others battles during WWI because some goddamn European kings wanted to go to war to prove who had the best army. Also, to all you people out there who think these Canadiand died in the name of freedom during this war, its time to do some learning about WWI.

Yuhyep that literally has nothing to do with this video
Proud of our neighbors to the north, y'all are still badasses up there.
Brian Byrnes thanks
Thanks my great grandfather lost his life in vimy tho :(
@@busterobe Maybe my great uncle was beside him .... comrades in arms forever more.
A great uncle saw action at Vimy and then at Passchendaele.
Thank yall ur awesome too
"In those few minutes, I witnessed the birth of a nation."
BGen A.E. Ross
George Orwell got a few good quotes too that go unmentioned
God bless our Canadian brothers.(from an old US army ranger)
As an ex Canadian Forces Infantry Officer both Regular Force and Reserve I served with the 3rd Battalion The Royal Canadian Regiment in the 80`s and met a very old ex RCR soldier while living in Winnipeg who served during the Great War ..we brought him to the Officers mess and spent an afternoon with him as he told us about his experience and showed us his old documents and memorabilia..he was 90 at the time in 1984 and we were all completely captivated by this brave man and his quiet unassuming demeanor.
It was very humbling and gave us all perspective as to how fortunate we are to be Canadian and live Strong and Free....
Mark i was in the army for ww2
Thank you so much for sharing this story.
I was reading it out loud to my nine-year-old son.
We both say thank you
My Grandfather and Great Uncle fought here and I was lucky enough to visit Vimy when I was about 13 and living in Belgium. Will never forget...
Thank you to both of them for their bravery. Lucky to call the Canadians our allies.
I am a very z
poor man he fought so corporations could run and destroy our Earth just so that they can blame us for it and then tax us to death.
I want to say thank you for your son's service and to all who have served.
fuck them
The vimy ridge memorial is one of the most hauntingly beautiful things I've ever had the fortune to see. So many people disregard the contribution of Canadians in both world wars, yet they were some of the finest men in the empire. God bless Canada!
As a french, born circa Vimy ridge, I cannot forget the Canadians sacrifice during this fierce battle.
As a french, from northern France, I cannot forget the Canadians sacrifice to chase out the Germans from our country, during the first & the second world war.
I hope that nowadays young men shan't have to fight again within our fields, villages & towns.
It can be seen on Google earth as well as the craters that are still there.
I had the opportunity to visit many of the Great War battlefields, Vimy was among them. I was retracing the steps of my Great-Grandfather who was a seasoned Veteran by the time the Vimy was taken. He was there. I used old maps to find where his Battalion started from and where they ended up on the 12th of April 1917. I was amazed that it only took me about an hour to walk from their start line to Farbus Woods. It was a pleasant walk in the beautiful French countryside. I could hear the hum of a tractor turning the soil on what once was some of the most contested bit of real estate in the world at that time.
My Great-Grandfather unfortunately did not return from The Great War as he was wounded and later declared missing in action a few kilometres from Vimy in an operation known as The Third Battle of the Scarpe. Although he was (and still is) missing, I did locate the Commonwealth Cemetery near the site of the Casualty Clearing Station. It contains the remains of many of his fellow members from his Battalion who were killed the same day, as well as a few thousand “A Canadian Soldier of the Great War”. I believe that he just may be one of them.
I think that all Canadians should make the effort to research what your ancestors did. You don’t have to physically stand on the same ground as they did, however try and put yourself in their same boots. It certainly made me a prouder Canadian.
A great effort-and sacrifice, by very loyal and brave men. Their story is NOT given enough prominence when this horrible war is commemorated--OR , Canada's contribution over the years generally.
Thank you all for your sacrifice.
An awful truth at Vimy. Lives were lost and Canadians learned that they were a nation.
God bless these young men.
And not just the fact that we could be a nation, but a nation that could stand on it's own while still under the shadow of Britain (and France).
I do not Believe my Great Grandfather Fought with Canada during the war, but I do know that he Enlisted around 100 years ago, and after the war he moved to Canada and started a family. Thank you Canada.
Vimy Ridge and the Canadian soldiers who fought here is the reason I am proud to call myself Canadian.
My Grandfather John MacKenzie was a sergeant with the 10th battalion at Vimy Ridge. He was wounded on April 9th. He survived the war returned to Strathmore Alberta and started a family.
Everytime I watch this video I have tears My Thanks Canadian army past and the present thanks for your service to keep us free :)
truly amazing. makes me proud to be canadian
We have a small monument at the Legislative Building in Regina. It is specifically for WW 1 with all names of our Fallen Soldiers carved into the Tyndall Stone, Yesterday June 1 2020 it was defaced by some one with black spray paint and the words " Black Lives Matter" I wish that I could speak with him for 10 minutes and show him how much his life matters.
My late Grandfather Lt Donald Gordon Coutts fought there (and later, Passchendaele) with the Seaforth Highlanders. He was 19 but somehow survived the Great War, although badly gassed.
GO CANADIANS!
From the UK
Great choice of narrator...like our biggest heros...mr shatner in true canadian style has adapted and conquered to acheive success. Canadians never say die
Lest we forget
What would these men say if they could see Trudeaus version of Canada?
They would be disappointed to see our nation going from a world power at the end of ww2 to a week National win little to no military
don't think there would be much talking.
Bill Shatner from Montreal should know that in the Canadian Army, " lieutenant " is pronounced "leftenant", not "lootenant"
son bitch drops the U in colour now too i bet hahahah
I picked up on that as well....funny.
We are Canadian. An god dammit I won't let anyone put us down for it . I love us .
