Lest We Forget
This November 11th is the 100th Anniversary of the guns falling silent in France at the end of the "Great War".
From the Canadian Encyclopedia:
"Canada is traditionally assigned the tragic distinction of losing the last casualty among British Commonwealth forces during the First World War. Private George Price was hit in the chest from a sniper shot in the town of Ville-sur-Haine, near Mons. He died at 10:58 a.m., two minutes before the armistice went into effect, officially ending the First World War ."
(I have twice had the privilege of going on parade at the Remembrance Day ceremonies in Ottawa. This year Kathy and I will be attending the local ceremony in Windsor.).
