Feature Letter of June 10th, 2026
Cousins, Frank C.
Things are going as usual. The Second Motor Brigade has been formed and most of our company were taken on the strength. Reid and I are in different batteries but we are not far apart. MacCormac, Bob Paxton, a Winnipeg boy and I are under "E" Battery and I feel quite well satisfied. Yesterday we received our semi-monthly pay of twenty francs and that means better humor for a few days. The weather continues fine and warm. It is just right for baseball. Our Brigade ball team is doing fine work. They have lost but one game so far this season.
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.
