Remembrance Day Message: “I want to take the time to thank those who both served for our freedom and those who still continue to serve for us today. ❤️
Remembrance Day is very near and dear to my heart as I come from a Military Family. Both my great-grandfathers served in World War 1, my grandfather was supposed to serve in World War 2 but fell ill, my Father served for the Canadian military, and my brother who continues to serve today in the Royal Canadian Navy” – Allison
Today and always, we honour and remember those who sacrificed so much for our freedom. Lest We Forget.
Remember Flanders
This beautiful John McCrae statue, titled Remember Flanders, was made by Canadian sculptor Ruth Abernethy in 2015. This outdoor art piece is located at the Guelph Civic Museum and overlooks Downtown Guelph.
Guelph-born Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae was an artillery officer, physician and poet who wrote “In Flanders Fields” at the height of Second Ypres, one of the most bitter battles of World War I.
