Nice pics, but you can't beat us on Travel Trivia! The place is Vimy Ridge, a First World War battlefield site. The battle is commemorated by the Canadian National Vimy Memorial, set atop Hill 145 near Vimy and Givenchy in the French Pas-de-Calais. It is the largest of Canada's war monuments and the land is a Canadian National Park, given by the people of France to the people of Canada in perpetuity in recognition of Canada's war efforts on behalf of France. The answer to the second question is that the other flag is the Canadian flag as it was prior to the familiar Maple Leaf flag, which was only adopted in the Sixties. Is there a prize??
