Lumbermen amongst the pines by Alfred Munning (bef. 1919)
Every year, on 11 November, dignitaries and veterans gather in northern France and Belgium to commemorate the tens of thousands of Canadians and Newfoundlanders who fell there. Meanwhile, more than 700 miles to the north, a much smaller group will gather – with no less solemnity – in the small town of Rothes on the banks of the River Spey. They are here to remember 23-yearold George White from Ontario, 24-year-old Joseph-Henri Berthiaume from Montreal, and 30-year-old Garfield Eby from Edmonton.
