Feature Letter of July 10th, 2025
Quinlan, Dennis John
At the beginning of this week I bade farewell to Jeepers for a few weeks at least. By now he must be somewhere in Northern Ireland where his new training station is situated. From this posting I would gather that he is attached to Coastal Command, not [censored] as I am. He will therefore get in a good deal of flying but I know you will be ever so relieved to realize Mums that he will not stand the same chance of facing enemy action as he might if transferred to some other theatre of the air warfare being waged so ferociously from the "island aircraft carrier."
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.
