VE Day, Remembering the Canadians


Recommended Posts

Hello, a newbie here. This is our 1943 GPW wearing the colours of the Canadian South Saskatchewan Regiment. Soldiers of the SSRs befriended our family when they were billeted in our village during the months up to D-Day, and corresponded for many years afterwards. The Elgins were also in the village, Hartley Wintney. The Jeep is parked in front of the Womens' Institute hut, which was the soldiers' canteen. Our gran worked there as a cook. Posted today in honour of the SSRs and all Canadian servicemen.
