2025x.04.02Description
Photo of a military grave yard. In the forefront, a large white cross stands on a rock. It bears the RMR's crest at the top and reads :
"IN MEMORY OF - OFFICERS, N.C.Os & MEN - OF THE - ROYAL MONTREAL REG'T - 14th CANADIAN BATT'N - WHO FELL IN ACTION - WHEN THE CANADIANS CAPTURED - THE - VIMY RIDGE - MONDAY APRIL - 9 1917."
Underneath, there is a metal plaque which would list the names of the men who had fallen.
In the background, there is what seems to be an endless field of graves, all marked by different crosses, some white, some brown, mostly wooden. The landscape is mostly flat and the sky is fully cloudy.Photograph Details
