Andrew Trundlewagon's photos with the keyword: War memorial

Eighty years ago, on this day, 5th of May 1945 the Nazi forces in the Netherlands officially surrendered to Canadian Lieutenant-General Foulkes. This is from the war memorial in Windsor Station, Montreal, that is dedicated to Canadian railway workers who sacrificed their lives in World War I and II, who should never be forgotten. We can only hope that such sacrifices will never be needed again and think of those who are still living under the daily threat of needless death in the war zones of the present. “To commemorate those in the service of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company who at the call of King and Country, left all that was dear to them, endured hardship, faced danger, and finally passed out of sight of men by the path of Duty and Self-Sacrifice, giving up their own lives that others that others might live in freedom. Let others who come after, see to it that their names be not forgotten”.
