In the early morning hours of April 9, 1917, the first wave of 15,000 to 20,000 Canadian soldiers began the attack on Vimy Ridge. Facing snow and sleet, the Canadians confronted heavily armed German forces as they sought to take the strategically important hill in northern France. Over 4 days, all four divisions of the Canadian Corps, fighting together for the first time, took Vimy Ridge. In the years following the First World War, this remarkable military victory, which came at the significant cost of 10,000 killed or wounded Canadians, has became an important national symbol of the sacrifice and courage of Canadian soldiers.
