Carry On - Fighting the First World War in Indiana

September 30, 2013 James Atherton

My grandfather was more actor than soldier, more poseur than husband or father, and the lovingly assembled scrapbook he left behind after serving during the First World War reveals more about his character than he intended.

SHARE In THE SAGA

Do you have an interesting piece of family memorabilia that also speaks eloquently of Canada's ongoing saga? A poster from your great grandfather's election to parliament? The diary that your great aunt kept when she was a cook in a logging camp, or the letters she wrote home when she was a teacher in a Depression-era schoolhouse? The cornet your great uncle played in a Montreal nightclub in the 1930s, or the good luck charm he carried into the No. 2 colliery at Springhill, NS, in October, 1958? Share pictures or video of your family mementos — as well as the stories behind them — with The Chesterfield and we'll share them with the world. Contact:: info@thechesterfield.ca
