Au sommet de la cote 145, sur la crête de Vimy, presque à mi-chemin entre Arras à une douzaine de kilomètres, et Lens à moins de dix, le 9 avril 1917, à l’aube, quatre régiments canadiens, soit plus de 35 000 hommes se lancent à l’assaut des troupes allemandes. La grande offensive alliée voulue par Joffre puis par Nivelle commence ici, à Arras. Le 12 avril au soir, la position, jusqu’ici imprenable, est aux mains des Canadiens, mais à quel prix: plus de 10 600 tués et blessés côté alliés, probablement autant côté allemand.
