REMEMBERING THE CANADIANS AT THE BATTLE OF PASSCHENDAELE

November 10 1917 saw a tremendous battle in Belgium during the First World War. Canadain at Passchendaele. Paul Gross produced a movie about this significant event in Canadian history. 12000 war dead are buried nearby. It is close to the location where McCrae wrote the poem- In Flanders Field. Today in Belgium dignitaries, citizens and many Canadian citizens and Veterans are attending services there. Remembering all that has been done for us brings home today's realities. The descendants of the brave men who fought can take pride in knowing their family history.
