Feature Letter of February 5th, 2026
Stevenson, Thomas Roy
It must be an awful winter, this year it's a good thing grub isn't scarce, though I am afraid it isn't like it used to be.
Remember what an awful quantity we used to have. Pork, Venison, chickens, apples, etc "makes mouth water now".
Oh yes, my number has been changed. It is 507327 the address is the same.
Please tell Jim to write some time as soon as I get a chance I'll write and tell you about a trip I had along Vimy Ridge and all the graves. I saw quite a number I knew from our province.
The Canadians have a great name over here, pretty near every one I meet soon as he sees CANADA on my shoulder, comes over to shake hands..
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.
