Capturing Hill 70 Book Launch

A few weeks ago, the Royal Military College and UBC Press hosted a book launch for Capturing Hill 70, the newest book about Hill 70. Read about the book in the news here.

Here are a few photos from our time there - on a beautiful autumn day in Kingston!

The Hill 70 Memorial Park, dedicated to the Canadian Corps that achieved victory at the Battle of Hill 70 in August, 1917, was completed on October 2nd, 2019. The centerpiece of the Memorial is an obelisk signifying the victory of the Canadian Corps at the Battle of Hill 70. In addition to the obelisk, there is a series of walkways dedicated to the six Victoria Cross awards, as well as plazas dedicated to Regiments and soldiers who figured prominently in the battle. To enhance your site tour, you may download an audio-visual history of the Battle of Hill 70 from the AppStore or Google Play.
