Quote:

Thousands of Canadian soldiers died in the Great War -- said at the time to be the war to end all wars -- but in the decades since the end of the First World War age and mortality have done to the surviving veterans what an enemy's bullet didn't do. It's just a few months since the last Canadian veteran of that war breathed his last. t before Ypres before the Somme before Vimy thousands of soldiers who fought in these battles trained in trenches made to look and feel like the ones they would soon be in. And that place was in Manitoba just south of the Trans-Canada Highway on a turnoff near the Camp Shilo exit.
