Hard to believe that at the close of WW2 Canada was a moderate power in the world. For a nation of our size that was quite an accomplishment. Unfortunately we’ve let our military slide somewhat since then.
When I was in high school our drafting teacher was in the artillery, most likely crewing a 25 pounder and one English teacher was a rear gunner in a Halifax bomber. His plane was shot down over Germany in the last months of the war. His POW camp was liberated by the Russians.
