The Canadians fought "Little Stalingrad" at Ortona, which was treated by the allies as mere "diversion" so the US could get to Rome.
We broke the Hitler line and forced the Nazis out of Cassino.
We left many young men in the hills of Italy.
In the fight against fascism Canadians showed up.

Let's keep the bairns fed. The children if you're not in the bloody brilliant north of England.
5 times a week I collect excess food from a local supermarket and help distribute it to my community.

THIS is how we collaborate to keeps bairns fed when they fall through the cracks.

Nice selection tonight & even some flowers to lift a few wee mammies hearts.

We cannot live by bread alone!
