The Vimy Foundation has created a searchable online database of the soldiers who died in the Battle of Vimy Ridge, using Ancestry’s resources. More than 3,500 Canadian soldiers died in the battle on April 9, 1917. The National Post published the database.
The mission of the Vimy Foundation is to preserve and promote Canada’s First World War legacy as symbolized with the victory at Vimy Ridge, a milestone where Canada came of age and was then recognized on the world stage.
