Leslie H. Miller \u00e9tait enseignant et arboriculteur. Plus tard, en 1918, alors qu\u2019il servait au sein du Corps des transmissions, il fut fait officier sur le champ de bataille. C\u2019est lui qui, apr\u00e8s la bataille de Vimy, ramassa les glands. Envoy\u00e9s au Canada, les glands furent plant\u00e9s sur la ferme donn\u00e9e en h\u00e9ritage au lieutenant Miller par son p\u00e8re (la ferme appartient maintenant \u00e0 la Scarborough Chinese Baptist Church). Aujourd\u2019hui, on peut encore apercevoir dix ch\u00eanes sur l\u2019ancienne ferme, que le lieutenant Miller appelait la \u00ab ferme des ch\u00eanes de Vimy \u00bb.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Oak tree planted here commemorates those Graduates of the Royal Military College of Canada who served at the Battle of Vimy Ridge (9-12 April 1917).
