点评:High atop a hill in the centre of the city is the Halifax Citadel. It is actually the fourth fort the British built on this site. I was welcomed by a soldier and a guard. Inside the Citadel is the excellent Army Museum, located in the former barracks..
Some of the people shown in the Army Museum are well known. During World War I, the Jewish Legion was formed by Britain. They trained at Camp Edward in Nova Scotia. One of those soldiers was Private David Green, who later became David Ben-Gurion, the first Prime Minister of Israel. Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae was a physician during World War I. He wrote the poem "In Flanders Fields", which is recited across Canada on Remembrance Day (November 11).
There was an exhibit about the fortress and the city titled "Fortress Halifax: A City Shaped by Conflict". One of the exhibits was a panoramic map of Halifax in 1879 with the Citadel in the middle. To mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, they had a special exhibit titled "Storm the Beach: D-Day Experience".
You can easily spend several hours here seeing all of the exhibits.
翻译:市中心山顶上是哈利法克斯城堡。这实际上是英国人在此地建造的第四座堡垒。我受到了一名士兵和一名警卫的欢迎。城堡内是一座很棒的军事博物馆,位于前军营内。
军事博物馆中展出的一些人是众所周知的。第一次世界大战期间,英国组建了犹太军团。他们在新斯科舍的爱德华营接受训练。其中一名士兵是大卫·格林二等兵,他后来成为以色列第一任总理大卫·本·古里安。约翰·麦克雷中校是第一次世界大战期间的一名医生。他写了一首诗《在法兰德斯战场》,在加拿大各地的阵亡将士纪念日(11 月 11 日)都会朗诵这首诗。
有一个关于堡垒和城市的展览,名为“哈利法克斯堡垒:一座被冲突塑造的城市”。其中一个展品是 1879 年哈利法克斯的全景地图,中间是城堡。为了纪念诺曼底登陆 80 周年,他们举办了一场特别展览,名为“冲上海滩:诺曼底登陆体验”。
您可以轻松地在这里花几个小时参观所有的展品。
