Could watch hours of this, can’t wait to visit, my great grandfather was a vimy vet and luckily made it back. He and all the other great men that fought there make me proud to be canadian and I will forever be in debt to them and other fallen soldiers of past wars
I had the chance to visit Vimy a few months after the rededication. It’s truly a beautiful site.
Surrounding the monument are several cemeteries, most filled with unknown soldiers. The tombstones read: “A Soldier of the Great War, Canadian Regiment. Known unto God.” … One after another after another. I cry when I think back to it.
Next time I go, – and there will be a next time – it will be with the biggest bundle of red roses possible. Its the least I can do.
I was an absolute basket case, and I was one of the soldiers honored enough to be on parade at the actual monument at the time. I will never forget that.
I have to admit that I cried throughout most of the cermony. It was very touching and very canadian . Sweet and sad with no fanfare just a hauting knowledge of all the lives lost.Watching fellow canadians holding pictures of long dead realitives and weeping after so many years had a huge impact on me .
This is so beautiful. It gave me goosebumps when I watched it live two years ago, and it still does today. Well done, Sierra Noble. Probably the highlight of the ceremony for me..
I was at this event live. Seeing a video of her performance does not give it any justice. So beautiful, brings me back to the moment i was sitting on the field at vimy ridge listening to this everytime.
C`est trés déménagement.
this is one of my favourites, everyone loves it! u were great Sierra. no one could of done it better. :) xo
OMG sierra, this is so amazing, I’m proud of you and thank you for making the experience my dad (Danny Flett) endured, spectacular and memorable!
Never forget the fallen. Ne jamais oublier ceux qui sont tombés.
Stunningly beautiful…this moved me to tears.
This tune is called “The Warriors Lament” and it is on Sierra Noble’s latest CD titled “Possibilities”.
Sierra’s CD’s are available on i tunes.
Wow…to be Canadian!
I love Sierra Noble. She has so much talent. Wow… this blows my mind.
I want to post a comment, I cannot find words amidst the tears. Beautiful tribute.

To my great uncle, Alec, who fell at Sanctuary Wood in 1916 & never came home.
We love you and think of you still.
Your family.
