Feature Letter of May 28th, 2026
Mouat, William Ivan
Dear Mr and Mrs. Mouat,
I was so happy to be able to welcome and chat with your son, J17084, F/O William Ivor Mouat, on his safe arrival in England. He looks very well and is in excellent spirits.
Our boys are being well looked after by our own people and it should not be long before they have "caught up" and are back to a more or less normal way of life.
Why Support Canadian Letters & Images Project
As we move away in time from past conflicts and as our veteran population declines, it becomes increasingly difficult for Canadians to understand the sacrifices that men and women made, both on the battlefield and on the home front, during wartime. The Canadian Letters and Images Project has been sharing their stories, and Canada’s story, for the past quarter century.
These are the experiences of Canadians as seen through their eyes and their words. This is history in the raw, without a lens of interpretation added through time. I invite you to spend some time reading their letters, seeing their faces in the photographs, or listening to an audio letter, to appreciate why their experiences must be preserved for now and for future generations.
Donations, large and small, ensures that The Canadian Letters and Images Project can keep this important content freely available for this generation and for future generations. Please help us to preserve their stories.
