Sacrifices Remembered in Remembrance Day Slide Talk
Stuart Johnson led a Winnipeg audience through a Europe and war history slide show in Arrow River Hall on Friday November 10. He traced sites from Vimy Ridge to Dieppe and Normandy, illustrating Canadian sacrifices and graves, the Unknown Soldier, and cemeteries. The talk ended with a reminder that ethnic cleansing and atrocities persist and a call to never forget. Ray Moorehead received a framed airmen portrait, a gift from the Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum, now hanging in Arrow River Hall with copies in Miniota Crandall and Isabella.
