Spain tells simply how when he decided he must go "a 
feeling of joy and pride ran through me as I hummed 'O 
Canada, we stand on guard for thee'."

He gives a cheery, but moving story, though he is too 
modest to tell us that in the Tank Corps of the 5th Regi-
ment, he was made a lieutenant for his courage and that 
he lost his leg in trying to save his tank on the Aragon 
Front. I think however that the war that spoiled the 
soldier, will be found to have made the writer.

These boys did not get much of a send off when they 
went away. We have now a chance to show our appre-
ciation of their heroic service to liberty and democracy 
and their beloved Canada.

Toronto, Nov. 4th. 1938.
