Lieutenant James Archibald Wylie was killed in action at Hill 70 (Lens) on August 15, 1917. Using the battalion war diaries and records held by the 48th Highlanders of Canada, the project team has tracked the whereabouts of Lt. Wylie at his time of death. As with his counterpart Lt. Donald Wallace McDonald (15th Battalion CEF) and the two 1915 British Irish Guard Officers (2nd Lt. John Kipling and 2nd Lt. Pakenham Law) their whereabouts were lost for over 100 years. The records error with the trench map coordinates, made by the 18th Labour Company who was concentrating the graves in February 1921, placed the remains 6,000 yards to the west of where they were killed. As such, their bodies were not identified at that time. In October 2015 the correct location was identified by a research team at the Canadian Expeditionary Force Study Group.

"The Hill 70 memorial, erected by the 15th Battalion Memorial Project and the town of Benifontaine, was unveiled and dedicated on 22 September 2012. The memorial commemorates the actions of the 15th Battalion CEF, which was on the extreme left flank of the Canadian assault on Hill 70, on 15 August 1917 and the memory of those members of the Battalion who fell during the engagement. The memorial sits on what was then known as Bois Hugo, which the Battalion assaulted, captured and held against repeated German counterattacks."

MÉMORIAL DE VIMY Pas de Calais, France
L'hommage le plus impressionnant que le Canada a rendu à ceux de ses citoyens qui ont combattu et donné leur vie au cours de la Première Guerre mondiale, a trouvé son expression concrète dans le Monument Commémoratif du Canada à Vimy, qui surplombe majestueusement la plaine de Douai du sommet de la crête de Vimy, à environ huit kilomètres au nord-est d'Arras. Le Monument représente un hommage à tous ceux qui ont combattu pour leur pays durant ces quatre années de guerre et, en particulier, à ceux qui ont donné leur vie. Sur le socle du Monument, sont gravés dans la pierre, en français et en anglais, les mots suivants :
Sur les parois du Mémorial sont inscrits les noms de plus de 11 000 soldats canadiens «manquant à l'appel et présumés morts» en France.
Le terrain du parc de ce champ de bataille, d'une superficie de 91,18 hectares, «est un don de la nation française au peuple canadien», comme l'indique une plaque à l'entrée du Mémorial. La construction de cet ouvrage gigantesque commença en 1925; onze ans plus tard, le 26 juillet 1936, le roi Édouard VIII dévoilait le Mémorial de Vimy.
Le parc qui entoure le Mémorial est l'oeuvre d'experts en horticulture. Une multitude d'arbres et d'arbustes du Canada y ont été plantés pour rappeler les forêts et les bois canadiens. Autour du Mémorial, au-delà des coteaux verdoyants qui y mènent, s'étendent des parcs boisés. À la vue des tranchées et des tunnels parfaitement restaurés, le visiteur peut imaginer l'énorme tâche que le Corps canadien dut accomplir ce matin historique, il y a bien des années.
Le 3 avril 2003, le gouvernement du Canada a désigné le 9 avril de chaque année comme étant la journée nationale du souvenir de la bataille de la crête de Vimy.
