Wait For Me Daddy

[Phillip Herring]

Canada Post has issued a beautiful stamp with the iconic photograph, "Wait for Me Daddy."
Unfortunately, on the reverse of the package, they have attributed the BC Regiment cap badge to LCol Leston. It should be Letson. I am a bit disappointed, but not surprised.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful and poignant scene with us. I wonder if his Dad came back.

I am sure someone will be along with a link to the story, but in the mean time...

Yes his father survived the war, the marriage and family as a unit did not.

The link below is to a story I think was told by the little boy himself.
