Feature Letter of November 18th, 2025
Cook, Alfred Frank
There are not so many boys around today I suppose it is that no leave has been granted in Camp. There are more over from France than from Camp what I have seen of them seems to give me the idea that they are still in the best of spirits. They want to be so far I do not think this war is over by a long way. My candid opinion is that if I see Canada in 1920 I will be doing well. of course that is only my opinion and I secretly hope that it is wrong. Everything is looking anything but bright at the present time. I do not wish to discourage you, but it really doesn’t.
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.
