Capturing the History

Over the next few months I will be adding bits of information and stories to help capture the history and scale of the Vimy and the First World War.  To start this off I created a visual representation of Canada's losses in conflicts since 1899.  I hope you can get a sense of the massive loss of life from this graphic.
  With those number in mind read the blog post 'Scratching the Surface of Sacrifice' and remember that each one of these soldiers where individuals just like you and I.
