Crawls rapidly through troughs to
Unwavering men

agonious screams
Ring throughout the clear river 
Casualties soar high 

Vimy ridge 
Glorious battle 
Marks the bravery of men
Ingenious planning

Fifteen thousand lives 
Lost by honored Canadians
In spite of conquest

Burning lungs and spirit
A wall that could not be broke
Struggled till the end

Vimy Ridge:
Quad Division force
Concise plans, power assault
The sweet taste of pride

Rain swamps the battlefield
Apt warning, poor strategy
Close win at a cost

The Somme:
No matter what side
A huge cloud of conflict
It clears; death all round]]> 2016-10-05 02:46:05 UTC https://padlet.com/christabarberis/1wwmvevak5yt/wish/128370472 YPRES tinatao241 https://padlet.com/christabarberis/1wwmvevak5yt/wish/128384196 Germans held higher ground
