You're probably right.  I didn't think we were there that "trip"
but what do I know.  All of the stories I heard were about your neighbours.

 WD> Don't tell me these were English?

Doubtful we'd be mistaken for English, despite what the Quebecois might
think about this particular issue, but I could easily understand the
English taking the credit.  Same could be said about the Americans who
claim they liberated your country btw.  They kidnapped a German
fieldmarshall who surrendered to the Canadians and took full credit for
that.  So understandable why I might think we weren't there right?  I know
my father wasn't in Belgium or at least he never mentioned it.  He did talk
about Holland.  Maybe he was smitten by a lass and forgot the rest eh?

Anyhow the Canadians did their part for sure.  I don't believe we want to
repeat that but we're still proud for those who did.  No doubt about that
here.

Life is good,
Maurice
