A Letter from 6409 Servicing Ichelon, R.C.A.F. B.L.A. April I'lth, 1945 Dear Mr. Farmer, * Pt These are just a féw, lines from a citizen of the old home town. 1 hope this letter finds all of my friends in good health as it leavds me. My main reason in writing at this time is to say that on Monday, April 9th, I was a visitor at the Vimy Cana- dian War Memorial and saw there a sight that made me proud to be a Canadian, The occasion was the first Cana- 1 duce to my friends at home. dian Army Ceremonial Parade on the 28th anniversary of the capture of Vimy Ridge by the Canadian troops | of the last war, | As a newspaperman you will pro- bably have all the details of the cere- mony but here are a few of the details that' made this particular person proud of his country and fellow coun- trymen. d First--The Canadian Guard of Hon- our, which was made up of represen- tatives of each. of Canada's five divisions and members of the 1st and 2nd Canadian Corps of Troops. Their drill and march past the saluting base at the front of the Monument was truly the essence of perfection. One thought while watching them, that they might be a single unit especially trained for ceremonial drill but on _ closer inspection, this was seen to be impossible, owing to the various di- visional patches in evidence. They were just men from many units of Canada's - First Army, who were chosen to represent their various units Yet so well did they perform it would geem as though they had always pa- raded together. : That Guard of Honour was inspect- ed by Gen, Crerar, accompanied by Canada's Ambassador to France, Mr. ' Vanier, , : Second--The music and drill of the, Canadian Massed Pipe Band. That! band was made up of men from nearly every Canadian Highland regiment. That was a sight well worth seeing. There is nothing, to my mind, more stirring than the martial music of a pipe and drum band, To see over one hundred men marching along, kilts swaying in the intricate steps of the) counter march, is a spectacle to gladden the eyes of any man especial : Y | | ly a man with a trace of Scottish | ancestry. ~~ 'T'hat pipe band was, to the Irench civilians present, the feature attrac- tion. The French people literally! went berserk with joy when the band played and marched in drill after the mam ceremony. The applause they | were greeted with was almost over- whelming and everywhere the French' people were saying "Le Canadienne lueossais est trés bonne". That ceremony at Vimy was one that I was very glad to be able to attend. In all the crowd of soldiers present, I saw no one from Port, but 1 did manage to meet a couple of men of the Lincoln and Welland Reg. whom 1 knew while working in Fort Erie. That covers the highlights of the parade at Vimy and that is the rea- son for this letter. wt 1 will close now wishing all the folks at home thé best wishes and loping that they may soon be re- united with their loved ones, who are with the Canadian Services overseas? The war news is very good now and we are nearing the end of a long and bitter struggle. Hoping to see you all at home in the near future. Garnet Weir.
