On the morning of April 9th 1917, the battle of Vimy ridge began. For the first time in the war all 4 Canadian divisions were present. After flew days of fight on April 12th, Canada would successfully capture Vimy Ridge, although it did come at a price. There were around 10,600 casualties with around 3,598 being killed. This battle to this day is seen as the moment Canada emerged as a country and not an another under Britain.

though it would be neat to not only draw from that one famous photo, but to also redraw my first Vimy art I made, I definitely improved a lot from 2018.
