Dear Mrs Young:<P>
Your letter to hand this afternoon. I thank you very much for the good wishes contained therein, and am indeed much gratified at the kindly impulse expressed by you, in wishing to write my wife, I know

just how much she will appreciate it and I very gladly give you the address:<P>

Such an intention as yours pleases me as much as Bee, because I feel that the real sacrifice in this war business is our women, and when I stop to consider the life of suspense, and sacrifice Bee is leading

without a whimper. It makes me think that our Awards & decorations would be better placed on the breasts of some of our wives who are handling some of us long young families and no excitement or change of scene to break the monotony.<P>
It is evident Mary Ella does not throw over her friends, when she sent me such a nice little letter, with all sorts of good wishes, and a

dozen kisses too. I hope his cold will be easily got rid of. Its very nice to think that I have got a staunch, little Scotch girl too, I must tell Aileen all about Mary.<P>
I am feeling pretty fit just now. Mother seems to take a oficial delight in pampering me, never-the-less I¿ll be glad to be back in the game again, as this loafing is tiresome.<P>
Sincerely
D McCullough

registered for keeps, he did so look the real thing, a lad well worth watching his development.<P>
I had the Honour of inspecting a kilted Battalion this morning, & really appreciated it for although I¿m Irish, that kilt fascinates me, it¿s simply grand, to see a well drilled regiment of Highlanders move around.<P>
Well this is a rough outline of my doings and movements. Should I go to France in the near future I¿ll write you again.<P>
Give Mary a big hug for me, with kind regards.<P>
Yours Sincerely<BR>

Dear Mrs Young:<P>
I am really sorry at my delay in answering your kind letter. There are times where I feel almost too anxious to write so you will understand a forgive me.<P>
Dave is back in France again I hear regularly. He was well by his last letter but there is heavy fighting going on now which I hope will hurry the thing to an end so all the men can get home. It is an awful anxious time & all we can do is to hope & wait. I try to remember I am only

Dave enjoyed his visit to Scotland. How after he used to talk about working in Scotland and I believe he looked forwards to visiting all he knew and it must have been a great disappointment to hear of your husband¿s death. I am sure it must have been hard on you & a big responsibility. It is nothing bringing up a family as long as the Father is spared. I think we are giving grace to bear our burdens where sent by a kind hand.<P>
I think Daddie will be glad to get back to us, our home-life has always<P>

been a happy one & our children only seemed to make it more pleasant. I wished I could have been with Dave in his visit, but perhaps we may yet have the trip together. If this war ever ends what agony people are suffering all over the world surely right will conquer soon.<P>
I am very pleased you wrote me & I will let you know how Dave gets along. I must Thank you for your kindness to him when on his visit. He was delighted with his reception.<P>
Hoping to hear from you again<P>
I am<BR>
Yours sincerely<BR>

MÉMORIAL DE VIMY Pas de Calais, France
L'hommage le plus impressionnant que le Canada a rendu à ceux de ses citoyens qui ont combattu et donné leur vie au cours de la Première Guerre mondiale, a trouvé son expression concrète dans le Monument Commémoratif du Canada à Vimy, qui surplombe majestueusement la plaine de Douai du sommet de la crête de Vimy, à environ huit kilomètres au nord-est d'Arras. Le Monument représente un hommage à tous ceux qui ont combattu pour leur pays durant ces quatre années de guerre et, en particulier, à ceux qui ont donné leur vie. Sur le socle du Monument, sont gravés dans la pierre, en français et en anglais, les mots suivants :
Sur les parois du Mémorial sont inscrits les noms de plus de 11 000 soldats canadiens «manquant à l'appel et présumés morts» en France.
Le terrain du parc de ce champ de bataille, d'une superficie de 91,18 hectares, «est un don de la nation française au peuple canadien», comme l'indique une plaque à l'entrée du Mémorial. La construction de cet ouvrage gigantesque commença en 1925; onze ans plus tard, le 26 juillet 1936, le roi Édouard VIII dévoilait le Mémorial de Vimy.
Le parc qui entoure le Mémorial est l'oeuvre d'experts en horticulture. Une multitude d'arbres et d'arbustes du Canada y ont été plantés pour rappeler les forêts et les bois canadiens. Autour du Mémorial, au-delà des coteaux verdoyants qui y mènent, s'étendent des parcs boisés. À la vue des tranchées et des tunnels parfaitement restaurés, le visiteur peut imaginer l'énorme tâche que le Corps canadien dut accomplir ce matin historique, il y a bien des années.
Le 3 avril 2003, le gouvernement du Canada a désigné le 9 avril de chaque année comme étant la journée nationale du souvenir de la bataille de la crête de Vimy.
