Feature Letter of July 21st, 2025
Sudbury, John P.
I left the gas school I told you about yesterday and got back to the barn where I found Father's letter (and cash for which many, many thanks for I was "dead broke") awaiting me. So I went into the town and had a good feed. You bet!
The weather here continues to be lovely and the country really is very pretty with the picturesque windmills dotted about among the fields of waving corn or barley or oats and sweet smelling new mown hay> Oh! It's grand but in the distance one still hears the murmur of gun fire and this, together with the humming of an occasional aeroplane brings one quickly back to ones mind the reason of us being here.
Why Support Canadian Letters & Images Project
As we move away in time from past conflicts and as our veteran population declines, it becomes increasingly difficult for Canadians to understand the sacrifices that men and women made, both on the battlefield and on the home front, during wartime. The Canadian Letters and Images Project has been sharing their stories, and Canada’s story, for the past quarter century.
These are the experiences of Canadians as seen through their eyes and their words. This is history in the raw, without a lens of interpretation added through time. I invite you to spend some time reading their letters, seeing their faces in the photographs, or listening to an audio letter, to appreciate why their experiences must be preserved for now and for future generations.
Donations, large and small, ensures that The Canadian Letters and Images Project can keep this important content freely available for this generation and for future generations. Please help us to preserve their stories.
