My Visit To The Canadian War Museum

I always like hearing these kinds of details about what it was like over there then. I can only imagine the heat in the wool, and the "I be itchin' and scratchin'" that must have been such a drag when not distracted by adrenalin and survival mode. (wool makes me crazy itchy like scratchy steel wool too as bad as Winnipeg mosquitoes )

I had Uncles that I know of probably itchin' and scratchin' along with the rest of you in Normandy as well ... thank you for telling your memories because it's personal for me in that it tells me a lot about my Uncle's experiences over there as well. 2 Uncle's didn't experience Normandy for long, but the others did the longhaul in those uniforms and environments

PS: regards George Blackburn's trilogy ... I know of the books but haven't read them as yet. I don't have copies and never got to them (and tons of other recommended books from Geoff's library when I was there that I never got to read either, while I had the chance) i will read them next chance I get.

Vets.
