WWI Canadian Monuments and Cemeteries in France
Purchase HOW CANADA WON THE GREAT WAR on Amazon at link below
Directed by Robert Child. This is the original opening to my Canadian WWI film, Dominion Day. It came about when we started filming in France and encountered the many meticulously maintained WWI cemeteries, which almost no one ever sees. Spending time at these places moved me deeply. They dot the landscape as living and poignant reminders to never forget all the lives lost during the Great War.
I believed that showing these places was the perfect way to open the film and myself along with Emmy award winning editor, John Whitcher, (Aftermath Population Zero) created something that we felt was epic while at the same time emotional. Certain members of the production team believed that narration should have been put on top of this but I lobbied hard against that- it stands on its own.
At the end of this open is the incredible 3D CGI recreation of the Dominion Day celebration on July 1, 1918 at Tinques, France. I wanted to continue the epic theme into the film and bring viewers back to that day. This animation created by VFX Supervisor, Jonathan Gibson, at C4 Effects, Inc. Toronto really brought to life what I had in my imagination. Although I was an American directing a Canadian WWI film, I felt a real sense of pride and patriotism for Canada's role and the accomplishments of her soldiers in the Great War.

Moeuvres British Cemetery
Moeuvres remained in German hands during the Battle of Cambrai, 1917, in spite of three days of desperate attack by the 36th (Ulster) Division. It was partly taken by the 57th (West Lancashire) Division on 11 September 1918 and cleared by the 52nd (Lowland) Division on the 19th. The communal cemetery was extended to the west by the Germans between November 1917 and March 1918. The British Extension, was made between September and October 1918 and was enlarged after the Armistice when graves were brought in from the battlefields on the Cambrai-Bapaume road. The extension now contains 565 Commonwealth burials and commemorations of the First World War. 263 of the burials are unidentified but there are special memorials are erected to 31 casualties known or believed to be buried among them. Other special memorials commemorate three casualties buried in Boursies Communal Cemetery German Extension, whose graves could not be found.
