Checked in, through passport control, and ready for the crossing home. The ferries are running to schedule, so we expect to be on time at school. We'll keep updating you (as will the students!).
Vimy offers an excellent opportunity to see inside a well-preserved trench system. Here, students look out from the German lines over to the British lines.
The skies cleared over the Canadian National Vimy Memorial. It remembers the 66,000 Canadians who lost their lives in the First World War. The youngest was fifteen; barely older than the students on our trip.
Thank you to Tom, who makes the First World War history come alive for us. It is the tenth time he has guided KTS around the battlefields. The first time, Miss de Fraine was on the tour as a student. This year, she's back as a teacher!
