The ‘Remember Hill 70’ History Event

Sunday, July 23, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Hill 70 was one the lesser known victories of the Canadian Corps. It was also Arthur Currie’s first battle as Commander of the Corps. It was a brilliant idea, well executed and an example of how Currie did what he needed to do regardless of what the British Generals instructed. It was not cheap; 10,000 were casualties. Those interested in history and are in the Ottawa area are welcome to join our History Event. If you have items to sell, trade or buy, bring them along. There will be free tables, and a bar. Let’s save Canadian History!
At 1 pm: Terry Hunter bring in and explain the Lewis Gun, as well as other Great War items.
At 2 pm: Norm will present “The Battle of Hill 70.” BONUS: Norm explains how to identify Unknown Graves and how he id’d the grave of Jack Kipling.
