  Peter Liddle:
  "[T]he South African Brigade had fought steadfastly under such appalling and prolonged circumstances that in the grim litany of the Somme's savagery of sustained attack and counter-attack, Delville Wood stands unenviably pre-eminent."

I'm a firm believer that every Canadian should visit Vimy Ridge - I have 
done so several times. One of the most memorable was when I flew over 
it in my 'ot' aircraft and saw the pock-marked ground from the air - it 
looks like an egg carton!
