Hardcover. Condizione: Fair. Condizione sovraccoperta: No Dust Jacket As Issued. Second Edition. Extensively documents the pilgrimage of 8,000 people, including 5,000 Canadians, to France to dedicate Canada's memorial to her fallen on Vimy Ridge in World War I. "An event whose importance and significance extended beyond the confines of Canada, a sacrament which was more than an act of homage to the War Dead, which, indeed, was a demonstration and an appeal for a cessation to those quarrelings afflicting the human family, the unveiling of the Canadian War Memorial on Vimy Ridge, on July 26th, 1936, was an international ceremony from which were derived elements that are bound to exercise a beneficent influence on the course of Empire as the years pass. It witnessed the establishment of several precedents, enactment for the first time of roles which in the past, had been accepted as pleasant theories, but which had not hitherto been practised. World figures whose words and deeds direct the activities of nations were assembled on the Monument. Their presence was more than a courteous gesture required as an act of international grace: it was a demonstration of first importance at a time when the European situation called for such a demonstration." - page 62. Ironically, the pilgrimage ended at Dieppe. Who knew that Canadians would shortly return to that citly on a new and much different military mission? 223 pages, including a lengthy Nominal Roll. First published in 1936. Profusely illustrated with black and white reproductions of photographs. No dust jacket, presumably as issued. Unmarked with average wear to original blue cloth lettered and decorated in gilt upon front board. Front hinge tender but intact. A hauntingly moving volume of enduring import.
