Feature Letter of September 5th, 2025
Scandiffio, Thomas Peter
I've finished a 17 day leave so I wasn't doing too badly for a while but now they've caught up with me and tucked me away in one of those god-forsaken country spots.
I'm bored to death but have managed to survive. I've visited Frank for a few days while on leave and we had a good old get together.
We're both in the best of health but who wouldn't be living deep in the heart of the country. If we can't fly we can learn to grow potatoes and milk cows, etc. But I couldn't stand that for long. I'd like to let you know all about my doings here but the censors would only rip it all to pieces.
So be satisfied with a nice short note until I'm in a position to tell you more.
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.
