"Reading the correspondence between Harry and Sadie helps us to remember the humanity behind an inhumane war. Through these letters, it is easier to put ourselves in the boots of these soldiers, or in the shoes of their loved ones at home. Spending time with Harry and Sadie helps us to remember all of those who fought in Ontario’s first World War."
