My wife's grandfather, a member of the Canadian Cyclist Battalion, (pictured, in the kilt) was wounded by German shelling and carried around shrapnel from WWI for the rest of his life.He was one of the lucky ones... who got to come back and have a family and live out a long, productive and rewarding life.
His son, my late father-in-law, enlisted in the Air Force right out of high school and was being streamed to Bomber Command when WWII ended.
Others, of course, weren't so fortunate. Do you know a Canadian soldier killed while serving overseas?
