Hey Guys,
This year we are going to do something a little different. We're not going to offer you a 10% discount like everyone else. We are going to donate 10% of our gross sales this weekend to Norm Christie, so that he can find and properly lay to rest some missing Canadian Soldiers.
Norm is a published author and historian who believes that he has determined the location of 44 lost WW1 Canadian soldiers from the 16th Canadian Infantry Battalion, the Canadian Scottish in a deep mine crater at Vimy Ridge.
He needs some cash to test his hypothesis and look for those who fell for our freedom. We feel that this is a fantastic cause and well worth our support especially at this time of the year. We have review Norms evidence and feel that he's on to something, that's why we are supporting him.
We encourage you to read about Norm and watch his video detailing his evidence and why he believes he knows where some of our lost soldiers lay. If you donate to his cause directly there are some perks available such as t-shirts, DVD's and autographed sets of Norms books.
We have also created a new product where you can donate extra money through our site to Norm's cause through simply tacking the donation to your order. Come on CGN, lets super charge this campaign and find some of those who made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.

On April 9, 1917 the Canadian Corps, 100,000 strong, attacked the German stronghold of Vimy Ridge. The Canadians drove the enemy from the Ridge and achieved the impossible. But the losses were heavy; 10,000 casualties, including 3600 dead.
In the face of withering machine gun fire, manoeuvering between the massive mine craters that lined No Man's Land, the 16th Canadian Infantry Battalion, the Canadian Scottish, attacked, capturing all their objectives. 100 of the 600 men were either killed or later died of wounds.
Canadian burial squads followed the attack, burying the dead in temporary battlefield cemeteries, including mine craters. 44 of the dead of the Canadian Scottish were buried in a mine crater in No Man's Land, designated CA40.
After the war, exhumation squads exhumed 1000s of isolated graves, bringing them into permanent war graves cemeteries. CA40 was designated to be exhumed and moved to Nine Elms, but there is no evidence of any of the men from CA40 there.
Searching all the likely cemeteries in the Vimy region also revealed no evidence of the Canadian Scottish graves.
Military historian Norm Christie believes they remain where they were originally buried on the Vimy battlefield in 1917.
To give these heroes a proper burial we must first evaluate this dangerous battlefield using GPR and Electronic Analysis to pinpoint CA40.
To complete this process $110,000 is needed for:
an engineering team and equipment;
documenting the process;
compensating local farmers;
safety and security costs.
