As a follow-up on the use of C-FRAZ in a documentary on the Battle of Vimy Ridge. It airs on the Canadian History Television on Monday March http://www.history.ca/ontv/titledetails ... eid=103246 They took 3 1/2 hours of film of the Piet flying. It should be interesting to see how much of it makes the film. It was a fun and unique experience anyway. Vimy Ridge: Heaven to HellApril 9, 2007 is the 90th anniversary of one of the most extraordinary events in Canadian history: the Battle of Vimy Ridge, a turning point in the First World War and a coming of age for Canada. It is also the single greatest military achievement in Canada's history.The victory was won by troops from every region of the country and every ethnicity: It helped establish a feeling of nationhood in a country that was only fifty years old-a country that still was more British Dominion than independent nation.The Canadian success at Vimy was the product of a bold and imaginative strategy in which Canadian commanders employed a three dimensional approach to the planning and execution of the battle: Vimy was fought brilliantly on the ground, in the air and under the ground. It was a battle in three dimensions.In Vimy Ridge: Heaven to Hell, viewers will be on the ground with the Canadian Corps through a battlefield archaeological excavation. Found objects are subject to analysis-each one allowed to tell its own unique story; to reveal the untold personal experiences of Canadian ground troops and their enemies.________________________________________________________________________________
