Feature Letter of July 25th, 2025
Quinlan, Dennis John
Dearest Mum -
Golly is this ever a hectic business and no mistake! I seem to have been rushing around here these last few days like a madman.
As far as I can see this is what is happening:
In a matter of two or three days I will be leaving for England aboard a bomber with myself as Navigator, the Pilot & a Wireless Operator and I certainly am looking forward to the trip - it should be a wonderful experience.
I think we go to some place in the North of Scotland where we train some more at an Operational Training Unit.
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.
