Feature Letter of August 7th, 2025
McLean, David
Moncton, N. B.
August 7
We arrived here about 12:00 and we got out of the train and went for a march through the city. The pipe band was with us. Somebody said we made the best showing of any regiment yet and when we came back we had our dinner the other half of the regiment has just come in. There is a wreck in the line ahead so I do not know when we will be leaving. We have had lots of lunch and lots to eat. We will be in Halifax early Tuesday morning. I hear we're going on the Scotian. Thank Miss Kay for the lunch

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.
