Editing Arras (section)

===Outside Arras===
The [[Vimy Memorial]] is a memorial just north of the town honouring a major World War I battle, the [[Battle of Vimy Ridge]], which marked the first time Canada fielded an entire army of her own. Four Canadian divisions fought there on Easter weekend 1917. The Battle of Vimy Ridge was part of the broader Allied offensive in April known as the [[Battle of Arras (1917)|Battle of Arras]]. The [[Canadian National Vimy Memorial]] is nearby. Vimy was the only victory the Allies would enjoy during their 1917 spring offensive. The Basilica of [[Notre Dame de Lorette]] cemetery, overlooking the nearby village of [[Ablain-Saint-Nazaire]], likewise stands before one of France's largest World War I [[necropolis]]es. Part of an extensive network of tunnels dug in World War I by [[British Empire]] soldiers can be visited at the [[Carrière Wellington]] museum in the suburbs.
