Dad’s Wartime Experience

Posted on February 17, 2016 by StuartBuhr

Some years ago while visiting with Mom and Dad they shared some of their experiences during the war, which I videotaped, while Ang and I asked questions.
This was an impromptu interview so please forgive the amateurish video.

    Hi Stuart and Ang, well done to get this info. The write up Ed talks about was edited and typed up by Laurie. We read it the last time Nancy and I were there together. Laurie may have kept a copy. I have no memory of anyone treated poorly because sons were in the Army. You know, the adult Mennonites bought War Bonds, the women knitted socks and scarves, we kids bought War stamps. We attended send off parades for the troops. The CO’s were conflicted because they were not supposed to kill, but would have defended their family ,friends and neighbours. Note the Minister’s son next door joined the full service Army but , was pulled out because he was underage. Cheers, Harvey ps the field Medical Corp was a very dangerous place.
