For those of you who are interested there is a new movie called Passchendaele ...Paul Gross writes, produces & stars...I think he even wrote  the song at the end. It certainly has its moments and although he uses his grandfather's name it is only loosely based on his stories as told to Paul...
I went in thinking it would be sappy and mediocre, but it is epic and VERY well acted....The romance has it's rolling eyes moments but for the most part it actually ties in well with the whole story...
and there were few dry eyes in the house...

Warning though...no young ones...not sure how it's rated...but it is extremely graphic in it's depiction of battle scenes....

Again, feel free to add your family's wartime memories or photos to the thread

OOh JJ, I told hubby last night I wanted to go and see it, thanks for the review.  A friend of mine is stationed out in Calgargy and was an extra in the movie.

War Monuments in Canada...this isn't really a resource, so thought I'd add the link to the thread...
http://www.cdli.ca/monuments/

and again, please feel free to add any photos or words of remembrance to the thread...
( your ancestor doesn't need to have been Canadian,ours began life in Scotland after all)
