Such a tragic story, important for us all to hear these personalized accounts of those who fought the war and paid so dearly for it. My father and mother both served, respectively in the RCAF, in Britain from 1941-43, my mother in the Canadian Women's Army Corps. Also three of my dad's brothers served, one each in Army, Royal Canadian Navy and the RCAF. All were lucky to return unscathed...
My father could not join the army in the 2nd WW because he had black lungs from working in a gold mine in Quebec. He died on November 11 at 11am. I will always remember that date
My grandfather died under similar circumstances. My mother was 6. Still too young. Lest we forget.
A beautiful tribute. His legacy lives on!
