Considered one of Canada's greatest achievements of the war, the
victory at Vimy Ridge is memorialized in a commanding monument
designed by Canadian sculptor and architect Walter Seymour Allward.
The pylons represent Canada and France and at 27 m (88.5 ft) tall,
dominate the site. In various locations throughout the memorial,
twenty massive statues convey symbolic messages of peace, justice
and gallantry while the names of Canadian soldiers who lost their
lives in France and have no known grave are engraved in the
monument's walls.
