Deb, what a wonderful tribute to your grandfather. A great piece of history to have his letters. My father was in the WW11 and my mother a war bride. Their sacrifice was tremendous for the freedom we enjoy today. We will not forget them!
Nov 11 is Remembrance Day in Canada with laying of wreaths, ceremonies and marches.
I love those old war songs and know some of the words, especially, It’s a long way to Tipperary and Pack Up Your Troubles. ❤️

It's a fine line between remembering and honouring the sacrifices made by the past generations, and glorifying war, which some people think Anzac Day does. Remembrance Day is a good way to put it, and makes the purpose clearer.
One of my arthritis class ladies said, after the class "I was enjoying hearing all those songs again so much, I don't know how well I did the exercises!"
