Dear old girl

A collection of letters from Pte Dick Armer to his wife Mabel who he frequently referred to as "Dear old girl". His three children were Billie, Marjorie and Dorothy who was born while he was away. Dick had promised to "write every day" and, with few exceptions, kept his promise. The letters were written during WW1 from Camp Borden in Canada, on the train to Halifax, on board ship to England, from Witley Camp and France.

Remembrance Day at Strathroy -More letters on the 13th

The Cenotaph at Strathroy is located in front of the Museum and Library. As you can see it is under renovation and the wreaths on the cenotaph are being watched by the large excavator. Construction fencing protects the public from ending up in the holes. That made for a very unique backdrop for the Air Cadet on the Cenotaph and Vice President of the Sir Arthur Currie Legion, John Fuller as he read the message from the Prime Minister.
