To mark the 90th anniversary of the World
In A Vimy Veteran Remembers, war amputee Perce Lemmon describes the pivotal battle. The Blue Puttees tells of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment,
nearly wiped out in the Battle of Beaumont Hamel. War Amps members talk of surviving the war in If Ye Break Faith, while In Flanders Fields tells of Ypres, the Somme, Vimy Ridge, and Passchendaele. No Man’s Land tells of
Canadian artist Mary Riter Hamilton, commissioned by The War Amps to paint the
postwar destruction of Europe’s battlefields.
