It\u2019s a part of a legacy project, he told the audience of veterans, family members and Camp Hill staffers who had gathered in the garden for the event.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The oak planting not only symbolizes the battle of Vimy Ridge, but also the 100<sup>.<\/sup> anniversary of the signing of the Armistice in November 1918. Noting that his father was a First World War veteran, Ratcliffe said, \u201cI hope I don\u2019t get too emotional during this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Ratcliffe described how the Vimy oak project came to be. After the battle of Vimy Ridge on April 9, 1917, a young Canadian Army officer named Lt Leslie Miller picked up some acorns from an oak tree on the site and sent them home to Canada. The acorns were planted on his family farm in Ontario.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Currently, 1500 saplings that trace their existence back to the oaks on Miller\u2019s farm, and from there back to to the Vimy Oak acorns, are in a greenhouse in Hamilton \u201cand now you are about to receive one of those saplings,\u201d said Ratcliffe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Now living in the veterans\u2019 centre at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto, Ratcliffe said that one day at lunch he was talking to fellow veterans at Sunnybrook about the Vimy oaks and they came up with a plan to donate them for planting at veterans\u2019 centres all across Canada. \u201cThis one today is the first one to be planted at a veterans\u2019 facility,\u201d said Ratcliffe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Ratcliffe\u2019s children Rick and Stephanie were present for the occasion and his son assisted with the planting, to applause.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Following the ceremony, Ratcliffe told Trident that he joined the Navy in 1945 following the Second World War and retired in 1970, with the rank of Commander. His career included his appointment as Commanding Officer of HMCS <i>Qu\u2019Appelle.<\/i><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vimy oak sapling planted at Camp Hill Veterans Memorial Garden By Virginia Beaton, Trident Staff A bit of Vimy Ridge is now part of the Veterans Memorial Garden at Camp Hill Veterans Memorial Hospital.
