I have taken to sharing my photographs on this site. However in honour of Rememberance Day, I decided to share some photos taken by my grandfather.
As I have a love for Canada, I decided to share photos that were taken on the train in Canada and in the town of Moncton, where he underwent training to fly a spitfire.
Are they doing burpees? – Must run in the family.
The barracks
Various scenary
There were stories my grandfather crashed his plane. I hope he wasn’t taking a photo while flying!
Marching
A horse and cart
More scenary – Canadians if you recognise any of these places let me know.
Train appreciation
Taken from 4 carriages to the rear at 50 mph.
Various people met on the journey.
In the middle photo my grandfather is the one sat down on the furthest to the left.
It looks pretty cold – we have no right to complain in the UK!
Going to Moncton to replicate these photos were I can is on my ‘bucket’ list. Thanks for viewing these photos.

Hi Cody, thanks for sharing. I’ve still not had chance to go over Moncton for a picture/picture comparison.
I’m glad to hear that lots of the places are still standing!
