youth went to war By Kathryn Lexow On June 21, the Brome County Historical Society (BCHS) in Knowl-ton held a special event with author Dan Black of Ottawa, organized by BCHS board member Joanne Croghan.He spoke to a local audience about the underage soldiers of the First World War, based on his recent book: “Old Enough to Fight: Canada’s Boy Soldiers in the First World War”.Mr.Black is editor of Legion Magazine and co-author of this unique book with John Boileau, a retired army colonel in Halifax, Nova Scotia.These two Canadians wrote about the forgotten Canadian youth who bravely enlisted and fought as soldiers in the trenches during the Great War.Black described the process by which the authors brought the stories to life through access to letters written by the boys themselves and by their parents, which depicted their emotions and experiences of war.Some 15,000 to 20,000 underage boys were part of this Canadian military and social history, and many never returned home.Black quoted English essayist William Hazlitt: “No young man believes he shall ever die,” and the book is written in .xTssSeS 5sHBbmHe3é& > f If: jt f* memory of the boy soldiers who

young boy, Kmt we knew what we had to do so we jnst went ahead and did it.” As many under-aged sons emraled against their parents’ wishes, orne wrote, “Goodbye Mother, forgive me.’” lying about their age got them past the recruitment process, often despite their height, as birth certificates were not required.Nor did parents have the right t© take these boys out of the army, umce enlisted after mid-1915.Recruitment posters were also influential.asking young men to fight with their chums and emphasizing the meed for more men on the front: “Worn! fOT answer the call.” “Men wanted at ©mee.”

During the three hours we spend painting our mind is cleared of the challenge and stress of our everyday lives.The creative spirit takes over and allows that everyday part of our brain to rest.I think of painting as a type of yoga for our creative spirit.Our group members are: Carolle Hebert, Beverly Hebert, Rolande Laduke, Barbara Bellingham, Sandra Quilliams, Heather Darch, Pam Dillon, Elsie Darbyson and me, Sandra Fortier.We all hope to see you at the art exhibition in July.The vernissage will be on Sunday July 6, 2014 from 2-4 p.m.J' M LEARNING ï H i N C H lieeause.more friends means more fun; CPI [oint PI for answers ami suppotl asltur discover ! rciuli.VVWW.Cpf.C Commission scolaire %% * Eastern Townships ry/ School Board Employment Integration Course in Cowansville!
