Lest We Forget
Take a least a minute this November 11 to remember those who have put and those who are still putting their lives at risk to keep us free and safe.
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.

Hi Ross- We were at an outdoor Cafe' having Capichino locally - at 11:00am sharp we fell silent for over a minute- across the way a Truck Driver stood at attention outside his cab...I believe Rememberance Day is named 'Veterans Day' in the USA. 60,000 Australian Soldiers gave their lives in WW1- My Great Uncle Edgar served in Europe with the AIF and didn't return home to Rural NSW -being burried at Reading War Hospital ENGLAND just prior to Armistice. Regards. KEV.
