Legion, Branch 13
TERRACE — On June 7,
the Legion plays host to

the veterans of the wars in.

which Canada has. taken
part.
The name of the event is

‘the D-Day Dinner, but it

was once called the Vimy
Dinner in honor of that
great battle of the First

World War in which four.
Canadian divisions won a’

decisive victory for the
allies and placed Canada
first among the top
fighters of the war. That
was on April 9, 1917 and
the. day which all Cana-

dians should remember as —

the day that Canada
became a nation and com-
manded respect on the
battlefield.

-On the wall of Branch
13 is painted a large mural
showing. the striking
monument that was built
on Vimy Ridge to com-
memorate the battle and
the 3,000 Canadians: who
died there. The shadowy,

mural and give the

observer a feeling of ad-

are remembered at Branch

to remind all those who |

come to the Legion that

they, too, diminish to the
