Vimy Ridge was a range of hills on the Western Front that allowed the Germans to look down on large sections of the Allied lines. The main problem of this was that the German artillery had a great advantage. This ridge is ten miles north of the town of Arras, the Ridge was taken by the Canadians in 1917 and 10,000 men died taking it.
