Father-in-Law: Royal Flying Corps

Royal Flying Corps: I am Canadian. My father fought in the RCAF in the Second World War; my father-in-law, an infantryman, was awarded the Military Cross. In the earlier war, my wifes grandfather was one of the original Canadian members of the Royal Flying Corps . Both my father-in-law and his father-in-law were shot and lived with the physical and emotional scars of that experience for the rest of their lives.

But had you suggested to them that wars were the defining events of Canadian history, they would have been nonplussed. They fought so that they and others would be free from tyranny and so that no one else, ever again, would have to fight a war. And when they came home they repatriated their courage, their principles and their ideals and applied these to their civilian lives. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
