Description: Original 'The New York Times' Newspaper April 14th 1917 Victory at Vimy. Ridge Battle of Arras.(20 pages) Many historians and writers consider the Canadian victory at Vimy a defining moment for Canada, when the country emerged from under the shadow of Britain and felt capable of greatness. Canadian troops also earned a reputation as formidable, effective troops because of the stunning success. But it was a victory at a terrible cost, with more than 10,000 killed and wounded. The capture of Vimy was more than just an important battlefield victory. For the first time all four Canadian divisions attacked together: men from all regions of Canada were present at the battle. Brigadier-General A.E. Ross declared after the war, "in those few minutes I witnessed the birth of a nation."Newspapers for very special occasionsFrom our massive archive of newspapers we can with 99.9% certainty match your special gift occasion be it birth-date, anniversary, gold,, silver, diamond, ruby, even paper.No matter what the headlines or content the most important content is THE DATE.
