In Remembrance

In remembrance of the Canadian Men and Women who gave their lives for their country and their beliefs - most specifically my uncle Lieutenant Mark A. Corbett who was with the Regina Rifle Regiment when he died

Mark Corbett

and also for those whose lives were never the same after they came home, such as my father Major J. A. Morin who was a proud member of the Régiment de la Chaudière.

Major J.A. Morin

Papa recorded a farewell message to his family and friends. I've combined it here with some period photographs.

Image Gallery

The following image gallery contains photographs I took in 2008 and 2009 at a variety of cemeteries and memorials that are significant to us as Canadians: the Vimy Ridge National Historic Site; the St Juliaan Canadian Memorial near where Canadian soldiers were first subjected to poison gas attacks; the Essex Farm Cemetery and adjoining British Army Dressing Station where Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae wrote the poem In Flanders Fields in may 1915; the Passchendale Canadian Monument marking the site where the Canadian Corps distinguished itself; the Tyne Cot Memorial and Cemetery which is the resting place of nearly 12,000 Commonwealth soldiers and finally the Bretteville-sur-Laize Canadian War Cemetery which is where my uncle Mark's remains are buried.

I also have a gallery of images captured during the 65th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy

You might appreciate a video that I put together using some of the images I captured in Flanders.
