I read today that the Vimy Memorial is one of only two Canada National Historic sites located outside of Canada's borders. What's the other one?

The other one is in Amiens, in France The Canadian National Vimy Memorial is one of Canada's most important overseas war memorials for those Canadians who gave their lives in the First World War .. the site was designated by the Canadian government as a National Historic Site, one of only two outside Canada, both in France (the other is Beaumont-Hamel NHS in Amiens). In addition to the monument itself, the memorial includes a small museum, an area of preserved trenches and tunnels, and nearby cemeteries of those killed in the battle. http://www.search.com/reference/Vimy_Memorial Feb 17 10, 3:09 PM

May-be not an "official" National Historic Site but anyway a highly regarded memorial to the Canadians who fought near Ypres, is this "Brooding Soldier" Monument at St.Julian near Ypres. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Julien_Memorial Feb 17 10, 3:31 PM

Beaumont-Hamel Officially opened by British Field Marshal Earl Haig in 1925, the memorial site is one of only two Canadian National Historic Sites located outside of Canada. The memorial site and experience of the Newfoundland Regiment at Beaumont-Hamel has come to represent the Newfoundland First World War experience. As a result, it has become a Newfoundland symbol of sacrifice and a source of identity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaumont-Hamel_Newfoundland_Memorial The anniversary of Beaumont-Hamel, July 1st, coincides with Canada Day; Newfoundlanders have learned to incorporate the annual Memorial Day parade and laying of wreaths, as part of the larger national holiday.
