Feature Letter of March 31st, 2026
Brown, Jack Malcolm
My Dear sister:
I received your two most welcome letters just lately. It sure helps to brighten up when we get mail. I rec'd eleven letters within a week. My pen has gone dry so I will have to finish this with pencil, besides we are not near ink at present. I am back at my old job again over here, and manage to keep my usual good health. We are having very unsettled weather here at present, there for we have plenty of mud. I am feeling rather sleepy as I have been on duty for quite s stretch of time, so you will have to excuse my letter being dull. We still keep giving Fritz what for, but I hope he gets enough soon, then I will be quite satisfied to go back to Canada.
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.
