April 1915: The western allies were hit by the first massive attack of chlorine gas.
Men choked, panicked, and fled the deadly gas.
The entire western line began to collapse.
But untried young Canadians without gas masks held the line.
That's Canada.
We never run.
We never bend.

Lived to be 92. Would NEVER talk about the war.
Canada: we don't bend. We don't break.
God bless your father.
We left a lot of family in those greenfields of Europe.
This is why it still matters:

You bet it still matters.
Watching The Plot Against America (HBO) made me realize that Canadians were fighting Nazis before Americans were.
Young guys lied about their age and shipped out at 17 to the navy, army, airforce.
We were there in every shitty battle of the war.
My uncles broke the Hitler line in Italy.
My wife's Dad (navy) got sent from the Atlantic convoys to Japan.
We was 21 when he arrived home.
When WWI broke out he went back to fight in the trenches and he got gassed
As a result he had lung problems his entire life but he never lost his sense of humour, his love of PET and the Montreal Canadiens
♥️🇨🇦♥️
They were so impressed by their character that they moved to Toronto to start their new life together.
My maternal grandfather fought for the Austro-Hungarian Empire and after emigrating to Canada, was in the Reserves for WW2.
Funny how things work out.
He joined the Cape Breton Highlanders when he was 17 (with a permission slip from from his parish priest).

She was a nurse and a lieutenant. I think they made all of our nurses officers so that they could pull rank.
