Today is a significant day for many people so don't be disappointed by the lack of participation, Caber. This is my Grandfather, Private Albert Yeudall - 42 Quebec Regiment/42 Canadian Infabtry (a ka The Black Watch). He volunteered for and served in WWI from 1914 to 1918. He was a recipient of the Military Medal for acts of bravery in the field.
He never talked about the war when he came home but my Dad talked to someone who had known and served with him and got the story about why he earned the Military Medal. He was a dispatch runner, and took communication messages from command post to command post. On one of his runs he came across a German stronghold and captured numerous high ranking German Officers with an empty rifle ( they didn't know that). I still have the ribbon for the iron cross that one Officer was wearing. We also owned the German Lugers but they are now gone.
Just a story of one heroe at a time of so many heroes. Never met him but still very proud of him.
