Thanks for those links John.
I looked at the photos and read the story. I have no idea how closely the TV movie I watched last night reflects facts, but I enjoyed the movie

I wish I'd known this stuff when I was living in Winnipeg for a while a couple of years ago, or I would have made a poinbt to visit MacGreggor Armouries (which is up a few blocks from where a sister lives), and also to search out the Winnie the Bear statue in Winnipeg. Oh well, that will be something for me to do should I ever make it to Wpg. again
