You speak for them all. My father Jim Corstorphine served as a gun sergeant in the Canadian 3rd division. He walked from Guelph to Galt to enlist with the Highland Light Infantry. When he got there they had reached their quota so he waslked back and enlisted with the Canadian Artillery. My uncle Art Corstorphine served with the Highland Light Infantry and was there on D-Day. He was also the Pipe Major who led the massed band through the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin during the allied victory parade. Sadly, I don't think the world will ever see another generation of these selfless men, but with people like you we can keep the memory and sacrifice alive.

As I read the above the thoughts of "he thinks with the glass half full, not half empty." You are a great example to our youth today. Keep up the great work. I am proud to be Canadian and have such insightful Canadians such as yourself representing us in so many ways! Sincerely, Dorothy Subury Region Dear Cliff,

I too was with 2Bn PPCLI at Kapyong. I knew Ken quite well as he had been a member of the Carrier Platoon, Support Company, until a few days before we went into the Kapyong position. I was a member of the Pioneer Platoon and laid flares and booby-traps in front of the Dog Company positions just before the attack. I also knew the two Vickers gunners, Carr and Macdonald, who were killed in the intial attacks. It was their gun that Barwise recovered. Ir all seems a long time ago now and I hope that my grandsons will not have to fight a war. I've always felt that what we did in 1939 - 45 and in Korea (and what the Canadians and other NATO troops are doing in Afghanistan) is necessary to preserve our social values. But I hope sincerely that the power - hungry groups that keep arising will finally learn that aggression and terror will not produce a world in which we can live comfortably. All the best.
