In this episode, we explore the creation of the Last Post ceremony at Vimy Ridge, a solemn tradition born from the ashes of the First World War. We trace how General Arthur Currie and Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae sought to honor the fallen with dignity rather than military pageantry. The story centers on the burial of the unknown soldier and the establishment of the Canadian National Vimy Memorial in France. We examine the role of sculptor Walter Allward and architect Alfred Heaton, whose design captured the nation’s grief and hope. Listeners will learn about the specific rituals introduced in 1936, the significance of the 'Unknown Soldier' repatriated in 2000, and how these acts shaped modern Canadian identity. From the muddy trenches of Passchendaele to the white stone of Arras, this conversation reveals how Canada processed its loss through memory, architecture, and quiet reverence, avoiding the grandiose monuments of other nations. #VimyRidge #CanadianHistory #FirstWorldWar #ArthurCurrie #JohnMcCrae #WalterAllward #AlfredHeaton #LastPostCeremony #UnknownSoldier #CanadianNationalVimyMemorial #Passchendaele #Arras #MilitaryMemory #WarDead #FexingoHistory #HistoryPodcast #NorthAmerica #France Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
