Key of E flat major…. beautiful song and tribute ❤

Mine Great Grandfather was there and latter he was Gassed he lived to see the war end. I never got to meet him But I'm proud of him to say He was my Grandfather

A 2 1/2 sq mile area of devastation…unimaginable force! A fine song recalling a heartbreaking event from our past. A beautifully told story of tragedy, loss and resilience.

Fantastic song

I played this song in the bus full of students on the way up to Vimy Ridge. Nota dry eye on the bus.

lyrics?

The children that survived were all girls at least I counted from the passenger lists. 1. Josephine Helen O'Hara, age 10, of 1st class was pulled into a lifeboat after being in the water and was reunited with her mother, May O'Hara. But her father, Henry O'Hara, was lost in the sinking. She sadly died at the age of 16 in April of 1920. 2. Florence Lorraine "Jessie" Barbour, age 8, of 2nd class was orphaned having managed to be saved by holding on to the neck of Robert Crellin, her godfather. But lost her mother, Sabena Barbour, and 3-year-old sister Evelyn Beatrice. She recently lost her father Thomas Barbour in a mining accident in May of 1913. She died at the age of 73 in 1978 as Mrs. Harker. 3. Edith Grace "Gracie" Hanagan, age 7, of 2nd class was also orphaned after losing both her parents, Edward and Edith Hanagan, in the water and managed to hold onto a piece of wreckage until a lifeboat pulled her in. She was the last survivors to die on May 15th, 1995 as Mrs. Grace Martyn. Just 1 day before turning 88 and 2 weeks before the Anniversary of the sinking.

Like Harry Potter, she is 'The Girl Who Lived' because she survived the sinking while her parents didn't.

Hi Mr Moore!!!!!

Absolutely beautiful as always

Thank you, This makes me so Proud to be Canadian.

Michael - Will you be doing anything for the 75 year anniversary of the end of WW2?

Michael - I'm the guy who uses your song in my Vimy Ridge talk - both grandfathers fought at Vimy. And here is one to bring a smile to your face. My brother, the family historian, is in Europe now. His goal in life is to walk the Grange Tunnel, where one of our grandfathers accessed the battle. Only problem is - he is 6'5", he has a bad back, AND, he is claustrophobic!!!. I wish him well. And, lastly, thankyou for this super song.

Beautiful tribute to the NFLD soldiers who lost their lives at Beaumont-Hamel. Cassandra R

The Dutch have a program called Faces to Graves. They are trying to collect stories for all those Canadians buried in Dutch graves. My uncle is buried at Groesbeek, and we've provided a story. You can go online to www.facestograves.nl, scroll down to names that have stories and read. For those with family buried at Holten, you can send info to [email protected] and they will assist you. Great program. And thanks, Mike, for this great song and video.

Hello, Mr. Moore

This is just beautiful, you did a great job :)

honestly if you could get a tab and chord chart done up i would so appreciate that. This song needs to be heard more! Would love to play this at home. great job

Shivers and Tears! My father, Pte. Duncan Charles McLachlan, 27, with the Black Watch of Montreal landed on the Blue Beach was captured as POW and spent 3 years at Stalag 8B and left the camp on the Death March. He survived and lived until 85.

My cousin once removed was with the British Royal Marine "A" Commando (Soon to be renamed RM 40 Commando) they lost 76 out of 370 as they were sent in to reinforce the Canadian Fusiliers Mont-Royal on White beach. My fathers cousin survived the assault.

A very important part of our military heritage from the Great War. A fitting tribute to those men who formed up under Hill 145 on Easter Monday, 1917. Masterfully done, a virtuoso Michael! I've always studied the Great War from two perspectives, one as a Newfoundlander, and two as a Canadian. In 1949 that really merged into one. But before this, during the Great War when so many young men from NFLD served King and country in the Newfoundland Regiment and the Royal Navy, many, like my Grandfather,..served in the CEF. Working in Detroit Mich., crossing to Windsor, Ont and joining the CEF. So many epic battles throughout the Great War and WW2,..I could only wish you will write more along these themes, entwined with original footage never hurts to bring home the message. RTS

This is an amazing song Mr. Moore, I remember you used to sing this in class almost everyday last year.

The soep Bowl helmet idiots.

Lovely Song- So appropriate for this day of Remembrance.. Nov 11, 2017

Thanks for this song I know it's a year later but I still listen to it as my great grandfather fought in this most historical battle in Canadian history thank you!! This is why I am proud of being a Canadian !

Jeez mate, you're amazing. Our poor boys....

Same 😊

i subscribed to you

I came across this tribute when doing some research on the Dieppe Raid in preparation for a story I am writing. By the time I finished watching it, I was in tears. So moving and a real description of what happened on that dreadful morning. I have connections with Canada and have visited the Canadian War Cemetery outside Dieppe. Thank you for putting this video together, I will be sharing it on my FB page on 19th August.

Great Canadian inspired song Michael! Really inspires a visit to Vimy Ridge . Grandfather was at Vimy but ,like a lot, rarely talked about it. Was at the war museum on April 9th - sorry I missed your performance downtown.

amazing! I love it❤

i am an army cadet at 137 ashbury army cadets (royal Canadian dragoons) i participated in the 100th vimy vigil they had a great singer sing this song and i have had it stuck in m head for months

half you views arre mine!

Saw the performance of this song during the ceremonies in Ottawa on April 8th and 9th 2017 as part of the delegation, love the song

Michael J. Moore do you have the guitar chords or tabs i would like to learn this

Last night we heard Oliver Pigott and Christopher MacFarlane do an spectacular rendition of Michael J Moore's "Vimy Ridge". Mr. Pigott's singing was spot-on, with a decent amount of gravel thrown into the voice. One can easily imagine one of the NCOs calling out to the boys. It is utterly believable. Just beautiful guys. Thanks

My wife and I just left the national war memorial in Ottawa, we were there to partake in the ceremony of the battle of Vimy Ridge, she serves in the military and was taken back by this song, it is so beautiful and in person even more amazing, thank you Mr. Moore, performance well done.

Is it your song? Cause I'd like to buy it

Outstanding Mr. Moore, outstanding.

This is what makes me proud to be a Canadian!

Thank you

Very nice!
