Feature Letter of July 3rd, 2025
Cousins, Frank C.
My Dear Mother:-
I've been rather out of health & spirits for the last week with a sort of summer sickness. I was in bed for a couple of days but got up on Sunday and since then have had no appetite and practically no energy. The weather has been very hot and sultry altho' it is cooler today. Most of the battery went for a bath today but I had a job at the cook-house which made it impossible for me to get away. I suppose we will go tomorrow.
On Monday we went to the Can. Sports and had a very nice time. I didn't move around very much - Fred C. was to be there but I didn't see him. It was practically [impossible] to find anyone for whom you were looking. We went up in motor lorries. The day was fine and the events were well managed.
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.
