The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is recognized as Canadas most import national monument and has been visited by millions of people since its' installation.

The Canadian action at Vimy Ridge features prominently in Canadas history books for good reason. It marked the first time all four divisions of the Canadian Corps fought together. Over four fateful days in April 1917, the Canadians and our Allies succeeded in taking Vimy Ridge. For this reason, Canada’s Unknown Soldier was selected from among the many unknown Canadian soldiers buried near Vimy Ridge. Additionally, Mary-Ann Liu’s design for the Tomb in Ottawa was inspired by the symbolic stone-carved tomb at the Canadian National Vimy Memorial in France.
