EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemn beauty of the War Memorial at Vimy Ridge, a poignant tribute to the brave Canadian soldiers who fought in World War I. The simplicity of this architectural feature is striking, with a wall adorned by 11,500 names inscribed on its base. Standing tall and overlooking the French towns of Lens and Lille, it serves as a powerful reminder of the intense battle that took place on Hill 70 in 1917.

With no people present in the image, one can truly appreciate the magnitude of sacrifice represented by each name etched into this memorial. It stands as an embodiment of both Canadian and French culture intertwined through shared wartime experiences. The photograph showcases not only an important piece of architecture but also evokes emotions associated with war - seriousness and reflection.
