William Dornan, letter of February 12, 1917 I had a letter the other day saying I looked tired and worn out well. isn't there a reason? Some people must think this is a picnic and not a war and believe me there is going to be some more war this summer. canadianletters.ca/document-22855

"Hockey, a popular Canadian Winter Sport". I put up a curling postcard, so I had better do hockey too. This is one of the better known hockey postcard images, dating from the very early 1900s and (I believe) showing the McGill rink in Montreal.

While trying to convince me to go to a different microbrewery, Kelly said: “What if you go in there and it’s everything you’ve ever liked? Like, what if they have a picture of Maitland and his dog on the wall?”.
Today we have been following in the footsteps of Private George William Nixon with his family who went missing in action on the 15th September 1916. His wife died in 1919 leaving six orphaned children. In fond remembrance.
OTD many years ago, I got married. Surprisingly, Kelly still puts up with me.
