For Remembrance Day, I wrote about photographs of Vimy Ridge by Peter MacCallum for the National Gallery of Canada. The topic has particular resonance for me, and for my family, as the name of my great uncle Lt. Stewart Basil Simpson is one of more than 11,000 inscribed on the memorial in France. Stewart was 22 when he died on Oct. 1, 1916, at Regina Trench on the Somme. His remains were never identified or found.
