So moving. I watch these old films for glimpse of my grandfather who was 18 when he enlisted and then my heart breaks for all those young men who didn't come home. Such youth and promise wiped out too early ! My grandfather went overseas with the 161st Huron Battalion C.E.F. He never talked about it much.
