<p>As we open on the month of remembrance, this episode shares one soldier’s extraordinary experience during the Second World War. It serves as a moving reminder that those who served were, for the most part, everyday sons and daughters, husbands and wives, and friends and neighbours who faced unimaginable circumstances with courage and resilience.</p><p> Following the story we invite the listeners to join us on the Museum grounds on Tuesday November 11 not only for the town&#39;s annual Remembrance Day service, but for a special tour of the grounds and their history of those who served our town and our nation. </p><p> We also invite everyone to join us later in the month for a joint evening at the Collingwood Legion for a special collector&#39;s event. The event takes place in the Legion&#39;s Military Museum on Wednesday November 19 from 7-8:30 pm and is a wonderful opportunity to share personal stories and find out a little more history of those medals and military items your family may have sitting at home. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Episode Picture</strong>:Cenotaph Ceremony sometime between 1932 and 1965 [Collingwood Museum Collection X2014.47.1]</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Research:</strong></p><p>https://48thhighlanders.ca/actions/lamone-crossing/</p><p>Collingwood Public Library Historical Files</p><p>https://legionmagazine.com/operation-chuckle-no-laughing-matter-army-part-87/</p><p>https://www.assoknowledge.org/freedom-for-italy/operation-chuckle-and-1st-canadian-corps</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Links: </strong></p><p>&quot;An Officer, A Gentleman, and a Spy&quot; Season 4 Episode 3 https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/LNlZQoB1PXb</p><p>&quot;Letters to Mother&quot; Season 3 Episode 3 https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/2nSZVVH1PXb</p><p>&quot;The Ridgway Brothers&quot; Season 2 Episode 3 https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/dtWyR9K1PXb</p><p>&quot;Coming Home ...
