Quote from sussex11 "one of the purposes of a historical museum is to jar and shock viewers out of their preconceptions and get them thinking. Again" Quote from Canadian War Museum Web Site "Mission is to Educate, Preserve, and Remember" It would appear to me that sussex11 thoughts and the...

Sussex11 Quote "The 2 Somalia paintings are not featured--they are simply there with 350 other paintings. The overall theme of the exhibits is the brutality of war and the way ordinary Canadians made extraordinary contributions in the most difficult of times. In my view, that's the only...

Re only 15% of the men fired their weapon in battle. In the book Fields of Fire the author interviewed the man who supposedly made that statement who said that he never said that and further the author that quoted him had never ever spoken with him. In my experience the problem was the opposite...

I don't need a license plate either but I have one. It is to remind the Civilians that we have Veterans. In the past two weeks I have conversed with two different young ladies and they were both surprised to know that we had Soldiers in Korea. They have never heard of Croatia or any of those...

While visiting Apeldoorn you may want to visit the Canadian War Cemetary at Holten.

Watch it George, or you may be the recipient of a low flying FRYING PAN.

You could start with this site: http://www.forces.gc.ca/dhh/downloads/cmhq/cmhq080.pdf it has some general information about Canadian Tunneling Companies. Post the questions and see what comes back.

I also have received  an e-mail supposedly from PayPal enquiring about my pass word.

Fred Gaffen used to work for the CWM, one of the good guys, he lost his job when he stuck to his principles. He kicked up a fuss when the weenies wanted to include a Hallocust Museum as part of the CWM.

Actually George the picture of the plaque wasn't taken by me It appeared in this month's KVA on line newsletter. The inclusion of this plaque will be discussed by officials of the CWM and a member of our executive.

That'sthe one.

Hey Tess, I see that your story made the latest issue of Espirit de Corps via the 48th Museum, along with a fine painting of the action. Was this set up by Anthony?

Yet another slap in the face by those weenies in Ottawa.

On a personal note my Sister in Law was a War Bride, she and her daughter arrived here in 1946. I believe that was prior to the advent of Canadian Citizenship and that they were automatically awarded Citizenship at the time of its inception. For more information visit...

I have been wearing a Poppy with a Canadian Flag in the centre since last November. I intend to wear it every day during The Year of the Veteran. As to a lapel pin we already have those and most people have not a clue to what they mean.

Thanks George, I guess when they did the article it was still in the shop. Either that or the commentator or I were confused.

Hi Tess, I see your Iltis made on the CBC this afternoon, it was in the workshop. Art J

So far Condor all you have proved is that you are an immature Cadet with a closed mind. Maybe if you had seen some Active Service under fire you might change your mind.

I am really not sure what you are looking for. Ted Zuber of Seeley's Bay has a catalogue of paintings that he did while serving with 1 Bn The RCR. I have three of his serigraphs of Battle Scenes. I knew exactly were they were located as soon  as I saw them. One shows a tank position on 366 about...

Michael re your Artsy Fartsy comments. I think you and others are missing the point. If you say this is part of our Military History then why is there not a picture of a Naval Lieutenant doing a strip dance in a Gay Bar in Halifax displayed, or maybe a portrait of a young officer delivering...
