VIMY! HERBERT FAIRLIE WOOD MACDONALD: LONDON 1967 1st edition. 14 x 22 cm. 186 pp + b/w photo plates. HB/DJ "A very moving account, and also of much historical value. One of the most outstanding recent re-appraisals of World War I events." SIR BASIL LIDDELL HART On July 26, 1936, His Majesty King Edward VIII unveiled a memorial on Vimy Ridge, near Arras, to the 60,000 Canadian dead of the First World War. It was so large and impressive that some Frenchmen took exception to it; the French had suffered 150,000 casualties in the summer of 1915 alone, trying to take the ridge, but they had failed.
