As I have no pictures of Truro or Middleton (home town) on Remembrance Day, let this poppy symbolize our remembrance. The Colchester Historical Museum has a display of wartime Truro. I have memories from wartime Middleton: the blackout curtains, rationing, an expanding Greenwood, training flights, military convoys and exercises, losses at home and overseas, British airmen staying with my grandparents, the return of the veterans. I was one of a privileged generation who benefited greatly from the service and sacrifice of the veterans and the Canada that emerged after the was. I am greatful.
