“VIMY To be Rebuilt by Canada through the Secours National. France has gratefully accepted Canada’s offer to rebuild Vimy. One can imagine that the proud French people would never have asked for more than a loan to start life again in the devastated area. But Canada, through the Canadian Secours National, asks, as a proud privilege, to undertake the work. It will be a joyful thing for us to give this enduring pledge of our appreciation of all France has done in this war.
Give liberally. Hold concerts, plays, etc., to raise funds for Vimy; organize your society work for funds for Vimy. Make Vimy an enduring monument—and one well worth while—to our boys who, at Vimy Ridge, made the world proud of Canada.
Contributions Should Be Sent Without Delay to W. R. Johnston, Esq., Hon. Treas., 14 King St. W., Toronto, Ont. Secours National.”
