Vimy Ridge

I am at Vimy, Pas-de-Calais, France is the only battle in the one Canada was alone independent from Britain but at the end we needed the help from the British second company  after we were there in the battle we saw how the planners of the battle fail and make  the work for us harder  and a lot of us die those days. Lieutenant-General Sir Julian Byng, the Canadian Corps commander, ordered new tactics for the coming assault. Having learned from the Battle of the Somme, intense training better prepared soldiers for what they might find on the battlefield, and helped them to make quick decisions on their own that were still in keeping with the overall plan. Small units and individual soldiers were given much more information about the battle, and were expected to exercise initiative in keeping the advance moving, even if their officers were killed or wounded. It was hard to escape from all that chaos but some us survive and keep running till they came for us.
