26 July 1936--before a crowd of over 100,000, His Majesty King Edward speaks at the unveiling of the Canadian war memorial at Vimy Ridge, France

"...beautiful and impressive as is the memorial in Ottawa, the Canadian people could not feel that it was complete. It was Over There that the Canadian armies fought and died. It is Over There that their final monument should stand. Today, thousands of miles from the shore of Canada, we are assembled around that monument."
