May we never forget, and alway honour.

This year Kathryn came home from school and asked if we had any relatives that served in the war. They had been talking about World War I and World War II at school in preparation for Remembrance Day. I told her that we did, and that I would get some info from Grandpa Forsyth for her to share with her class. Grandpa sent us some journal entries from his grandfather Neil Forsyth who served in WWI. you can click on the following links if you'd like to read them.
pg1, pg2, pg3, pg4, pg5, pg6, pg7, pg8, pg9

  

My dad also sent me this letter that Neil Forsyth received about 27 years later. 

I sent a copy of this letter along with some of the journal entries, up to the school for Kathryn to share with her class. The school asked if it would be OK for Kathryn to read the letter at the School's Remembrance day ceremony.

I am so thankful that we have these tangible items for me, and for me to share with my children. My hope is that one day they will realize the significance of the sacrifices that their ancestors made so that we could enjoy the Freedoms that we have.
