By Liz Sangster HENSALL - This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Second World War in Europe on May $, 1945. Many Canadian army veterans -will be travelling over- seas to Holland to commemorate V.E. Day, a trip sure to bring back many mixed emotions. Canadians also served in the Air Force, Navy and Merchant Marine, in Hong Kong, on the home front and trained service per- sonnel. Every Canadian of the war generation was touched by the war, from the families of those serving overseas and the children who saved their money to buy Victory Stamps, to those who worked in fanning, industry, defence production ad the Red Cross. During the Second World War almost one in ten Ca- nadians (more than one million) enlisted in the armed forces. Roughly 100,000 were .casualties and 45,607 died. Fatalities in the Merchant Navy alone numbered 1465 of the approximately 12,000 who served. Canadians everywhere are encouraged to get in- volved in activities and events which recall the spirit of the times - the good times, the bad times, the comrade- ship, and the collective effort that overcame this chal- lenge.
