Abstract

The Dominion Institute is compiling a digital archive of memories and memorabilia from war veterans across Canada. One veteran, Edna Wilson, spent the final year of the Second World War working as an air force clerk in London. Wilson, who is 81 and lives in Ottawa, contributed the old photos on these pages as well as a letter she sent her older sister, Blanche, the day after celebrating the end of the war in Europe. Some of that letter, detailing the activity in London on Victory in Europe night, is excerpted here.
