From 9 to 12 April 1917, the Battle of Vimy Ridge took place during World War I. It is Canada's most celebrated military triumph, a symbol of the beginnings of Canadian national pride and awareness that is widely mythologized. The combat took place in northern France on the Western Front.  Although decades have passed since the Combat of Vimy Ridge, the legacy of the Canadians who made such an impact in that pivotal First World War battle remains on.

By 1916, even the patriotic leagues had confessed the failure of voluntary recruiting.

A prominent Montréal manufacturer, Arthur Mignault, was put in charge of Québec recruiting and, for the first time, public funds were provided. On 18 May 1917 he told Canadians of his government's new policy. The 1914 promise of an all-volunteer contingent had been superseded by events.  The other countries decided to help them and alliance with them.

In the summer of 1917, the Canadian Corps secured an astounding victory on Hill 70 in France.  Lieutenant-General Arthur Currie, who had played a key part in the battle's planning and execution, was named commander of the Canadian Corps. Its first big combat would be in France, between Hill 70 and Lens, where British high commander Field Marshal Douglas Haig ordered the Canadians to strike in order to force the Germans to divert forces away from the fierce fighting farther north near Passchendaele.

The battle Monchy-le-Preux took place during Field Marshall Sir Douglas Haig's massive spring offensive, which saw the British First and Third Armies attack eastward on a 22-kilometer front from Arras.  The British barrage commenced at 5:30 a.m. on April 14, and the two battalions began their approach. The Essex had completed their side of the Infantry Hill objective after 90 minutes. However, when the Newfoundland soldiers advanced, machine gun fire rained down on them. Despite considerable casualties, the Newfoundlanders pushed forward to take the enemy's forward lines in front of Infantry Hill.
