I haven't seen these videos befor...Thanks John. I haven't seen these videos before. My mum and I arrived on the S.S.Letitia at Pier 21 on April 25, 1946. We were then put on the "War Bride Train" and were met at Montreal by my father. He was a volunteer RCAF radar technician who was posted to England and stationed on the Isle of Wight. He met and married my mum in 1942.

She brought with her my mother (who was 13) and another sister (who was 15), as their parents had both passed away. In the first video, there is a lady who talks about the shock of seeing her new home, after coming from the city. My mom and aunts used to tell the same story. They came from the big city of Dundee, Scotland to a farm in Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17821657762290392135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24066635.post-31145341186039252212016-07-12T17:32:20.111-04:002016-07-12T17:32:20.111-04:00My aunt was a war bride, coming to Canada in 1946....My aunt was a war bride, coming to Canada in 1946.
