April 10, 1917 The 4th Division attacks the remaining German positions on the ridge just east of Hill 145 and quickly captures them. Vimy Ridge is now in Canadian hands.

		April 10, 1917 We have done very well, though suffered a lot. The town named after the Ridge will be well in our rear. So far, the fighting has been of an open character. The Germans falling back, fighting hard to rearguard action; every place is mined and the whole country, including dugouts and cellars, a mass of booby traps... all the wells are poisoned.
