Photo of Charlie Chartrand
This photograph of my great-uncle Charlie Chartrand was taken in Humberstone (now Port Colborne), Ontario, in 1941 - two years before he enlisted. Charlie survived the D-Day landing, only to die on the outskirts of Caen, France, two days before the army entered the city. He was 21. -
