It wasn't a veteran's issue Royal Canadian Legion spokesperson Bob Butt seemed too comfortable answering questions about: sex acts being performed on the Canadian War Memorial at Vimy Ridge in France.

The CBC uncovered video footage on the internet that depicts various sex acts taking place on the monument, which was unveiled in 1936 to commemorate Canadian efforts to capture the famed ridge during World War I.

Butt says that pornography and the monument don't go together.

He says those pictured in videos, with their bodies pressed up against the names of Canada's war dead, simply don't respect what the memorial is all about.

"Somebody thought it'd be a nice backdrop, but I guess it's probably more than what some people expect, especially from the people who are the generation of the rescued."

To date at least three people have been charged by French authorities. More investigations are underway.

The CBC has uncovered evidence supporting that this phenomena has been going on for at least seven years without notice until recently.
