Feature Letter of November 9th, 2025
Broome, George Albert Charles
Dear Mrs Broome
I felt I must write to tell you how grieved I am for you. Your boy Pte. George Broome was such a dear, bright boy, always so cheerful and considerate. When he was transferred we missed him so but felt it was a step to getting near home so he might see you and his father & brothers and sisters.
I know how good a home he had he so often told me and his joy when he got letters was great. It is hard to think it I know but he is happier now than he would have been had he lived, it would have been so hard for him to have been an invalid all his life. God has spared him this and taken him to Himself.
You have my great sympathy.
Yours sincerely
O. Chubb
Why Support Canadian Letters & Images Project
As we move away in time from past conflicts and as our veteran population declines, it becomes increasingly difficult for Canadians to understand the sacrifices that men and women made, both on the battlefield and on the home front, during wartime. The Canadian Letters and Images Project has been sharing their stories, and Canada’s story, for the past quarter century.
These are the experiences of Canadians as seen through their eyes and their words. This is history in the raw, without a lens of interpretation added through time. I invite you to spend some time reading their letters, seeing their faces in the photographs, or listening to an audio letter, to appreciate why their experiences must be preserved for now and for future generations.
Donations, large and small, ensures that The Canadian Letters and Images Project can keep this important content freely available for this generation and for future generations. Please help us to preserve their stories.
