Feature Letter of September 3rd, 2025
Brown, Jack Malcolm
My Dear sister
I hope this will find you all well at home, as it leaves me at present. We are still carrying on in the same old way. I was not feeling in the best of health for a few days last week, as I swallowed some more of Fritz' gas. I thought my head would burst open, it ached so, but I am O.K. now. I am sure pleased with myself that it was not a worse dose.
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.
