Two Days from Silence — The approach to Mons · 9 November 1918.
We will remember them.
#LestWeForget #PoppyHour
On this day, 10 November 1917, Canadian troops made the final attack of the Passchendaele campaign.
The village had fallen four days earlier. On the 10th they went forward again to secure the last of the ridge, across deep mud and flooded shell holes, and held it under heavy shelling.
Today we remember everyone who fought there, in October and November: the wounded, the missing and the dead.

Opening the River — 8 November 1944.
The Battle of the Scheldt ended, but its cost must never be forgotten. Today we remember those who fought to open the sea route to Antwerp—and those who never came home.
We will remember them.

Loud when it’s bad news. Silent when it’s good news? 🎅
Nighttime parades are coming back to the CBRM with safety conditions. If you shared the disappointment, share the update—and give the volunteers and organizers some credit.
Are we here to make our communities better, or just keep people angry? Uncle weighs in.

On this day, 7 November 1900, the Royal Canadian Dragoons covered a British withdrawal at Leliefontein near the Komati River. Lieutenants H.Z.C. Cockburn and R.E.W. Turner, and Sergeant E.J. Holland, each earned the Victoria Cross that day. The guns were saved. The column got through.
We will remember them.

On 6 November 1917, the 27th (City of Winnipeg) Battalion captured the ruined village of Passchendaele.
Private James Peter Robertson rushed an enemy machine gun and helped his platoon advance. Later, he was killed bringing in wounded comrades. He was awarded the Victoria Cross and is buried at Tyne Cot Cemetery.
Our full six-minute film remembers his courage, the Canadians who served and all who did not come home, followed by a full moment of silence.
We will remember them.
On this day, 5 November 1940, the Canadian Pacific cargo ship SS Beaverford, sailing from Halifax in convoy HX 84, was lost with all hands in the North Atlantic. Her last message: "It is our turn now." Three of her crew, Clifford Carter, William Lorne Thibideau and Laughlin Elwood Stewart, are named on the Halifax Memorial.

On this day, 4 November 1918, one week before the Armistice, the 5th Canadian Mounted Rifles attacked a slag heap at Vicq, France, as the Canadian Corps pushed toward Mons. Crossing open fields under machine-gun fire, they won a foothold on the heap but were driven off. That day the battalion lost Private George John Robert Smith, who rests at Onnaing Communal Cemetery.
We will remember them.
On this day, 2–3 November 1951, in Korea, soldiers of the 2nd Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment held the centre of the Canadian front against repeated night attacks. Before dawn, a forward platoon, short of ammunition and reduced by casualties, fell back fighting. Artillery and mortars drove the enemy off, and the position was retaken. That day the regiment lost Private Joseph Campeau, aged 21.
We will remember them.
On this day, 2 November 1944, Canadian soldiers fought across the Walcheren Causeway in the Netherlands, a narrow strip of road swept by enemy fire. Over three days, the Black Watch of Canada, the Calgary Highlanders and Le Régiment de Maisonneuve attacked along it during the Battle of the Scheldt, the fight to open the port of Antwerp.
We will remember them. 🌺
