Allward, stands in that part of Northern France where Canadian troops most frequently fought. lt is designed to commemorate not only the taking of the Ridge and other engagements generally known as the Battle of Arras, but also the whole achievement of Canadian troops during the Great War. From the platform of the monument rise two pylons representing the British and French forces. These are adorned with sculptured figures repre- senting Gallantry, Sympathy, and Sacrificeg justice, Truth and Knowledge: Death, Sorrow, Peace and the Cross. On the eastward wall, over- looking the slope, stands the heroic figure of a cowled woman-Canada mourning her dead. In front of the memorial, at the ground level, are two groups called the Defenders-one representing Sympathy for the Helplessp the other, the Breaking of the Sword. The memorial comprises twenty figures in all, each double life size. On the out- side of the pylons is the Cross. Other ornamental designs, such as the Crown, and the Fleur de Lis, are carved on its surface. The curving slope in front of the monument forms a large bowl-shaped area covered with soft, green grass. The veterans took their places on the sloping ground directly in front of the monu- ment, and their relatives were placed on the slopes on either side of the memorial. At 2.15 p.m. His Majesty the King arrived and, after receiving the Royal Salute and inspecting the Guards- of 70 Honour, he greeted M. Albert Lebrun, the Presi- dent of the French Republic. The religious service was conducted by representatives of the Church of England, the United Church of Canada, and the Roman Catholic Church. The Rt. Hon. Mac- kenzie King's message was transmitted by trans- atlantic telephone from Canada to Vimy Ridge. His Majesty unveiled the memorial after a short speech in French, and then in English. The Last Post was followed by two minutes silence and Reveille, after which President Lebrun gave his concluding address. We attempted to get on to the monument to inspect it but could not as the stairways were jammed with thousands of people. After exam- ining it from the ground level. we returned by bus to our billets at Lille. The next morning we were off again by bus. At the Franco-Belgian frontier the gendarmes, who ordinarily searched everyone going across the border, didn't bother with us. as there were seven- teen bus loads. We passed through Ypres and the Menin Gate, Sanctuary Wood, Zillebeke, Passchendaele, Tyne Cot Cemetery, Zonnebeke, and back to Ypres, where the busses stopped for an hour. The ruins of Cloth Hall, which was once beautifully decorated with huge murals, have been left as they were after the bombardment, except for the tower, which has been rebuilt. The chimes in the tower played The Maple Leaf Forever and other familiar tunes. We stopped at the Menin Gate and signed the tCcntinued on page 72-7-'
