If you get to Vimy see if you can get a tour of the actual trenches. One of my favourite travelling moments was going through the tunnels that our Canadians dug and seeing what they lived in. Awesome experience, especially the one bunk carved into the chalk stoned walls. Whichever soldier was sleeping there was homesick so he carved into the wall something that reminded him of home - a maple leaf.
What makes it even more special is that the Maple Leaf wasn't on our flag for another 50 or so years.
