View from a [German pillbox](https://inkblot.art/post/OkCobpSjRGRPOfk8jyIg) toward the Canadian front line, part of a preserved section of the original Vimy Ridge battlefield. While natural regrowth has obscured line-of-sight, the opposing trenches are barely fifty metres apart—a ten-second jog if you're not dodging fire. Small wonder a bayonet charge more resembled a Medieval mêlée than its Napoleonic forbear. Original photo taken March 2007.
