The documentary, which will air on Sunday, April 9, at 9 p.m., commemorates the hard-fought battle. Produced by Breakthrough Entertainment in association with Corus Entertainment, <em>Searching for Vimy\u2019s Lost Soldiers<\/em> takes viewers along as historian Norm Christie sets out to locate and recover the graveyard, known in 1917 as CA40. The special shows how over the past three years, Christie has pushed forward on the project to locate the open graveyard where the battle was fought in order to recover the remains of Canadian soldiers who lost their lives there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a great mystery story for the ages, one that has the raw emotional power to move us today,\u201d said Peter Williamson, partner and executive producer at Breakthrough Entertainment. \u201cThe HISTORY Channel premiere will enable all Canadians to discover how our nation\u2019s military participation continues to shape our current identity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Brigadier-General Alexander Ross famously said of the battle, in those few minutes he \u2018witnessed the birth of a nation,\u2019\u201d added Christie, who hosts and serves as executive producer on the documentary. \u201cFor Canada, the battle of Vimy Ridge was a great victory; for the families of the 3,600 soldiers killed there, it was a tragedy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HISTORY in Canada has scheduled the national broadcast premiere of the feature documentary Searching for Vimy\u2019s Lost Soldiers for April 9, marking the 100-year anniversary of the battle of Vimy Ridge, which is considered the country\u2019s most famous military victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":9972,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[346,249,1418,2077],"class_list":["post-9971","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-breakthrough-entertainment","tag-corus-entertainment","tag-history-canada","tag-searching-for-vimys-lost-soldiers","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
