NotesOriginal Toronto Star caption: Trench-wrecker--Squatting toad-like in its casemate at Vimy, this grim dispatcher of death lobbed its projectiles across no-man's-land to blow trenches flat, crump in dugouts and perchance dismember and hurl skywards some hapless infantryman. British trench mortars and German minewerfer were in their glory on the Ridge, since front lines were close together Vimy is the only sector where trenches are retained for posterity.
