THE MENIN GATE MEMORIAL TO THE MISSING
The Menin Gate Memorial to the Missing is located in Ypres in Belgium. It is dedicated to the Commonwealth Soldiers of World War I who were killed in the Ypres Salient and have no known grave. It is located at the eastern exit of Ypres. This point was the starting point for the soldiers and one of the main roads that would take the soldiers to the front.
THE HISTORY OF VIMY RIDGE
The German forces during the early advances of 1914 occupied Vimy Ridge and the surrounding areas. During this period they constructed deep bunkers and tunnels. They placed many layers of barbed wire on the ridge. As well they positioned their machine gun pits in such a way that anyone attempting to advance upon the ridge would be caught in a deadly crossfire. There were 8,000 men on the ridge with approximately 3,000 in reserve and many more thousands in the rear positions.
