Looking at #handwriting for #archives30 & there was only one choice, a very formal hand, written with hope. This bible inscription, written by my 3rd great aunt to her nephew. Found in a barn in Canada, where he was sent as a child emigrant. @BHCGI

Today is British Home Children Day of Remembrance. On behalf of 🇬🇧, I repeated our 2010 apology for child migration schemes, which included 🇨🇦. This new @heritagetoronto plaque remembers those who came to Toronto out of over 100K who came to 🇨🇦. 📸 @hermancustodio

100 years ago, Canadians joined the battle of Passchendaele. Their sacrifice was monumental - 4000 dead. 12k wounded. We will never forget.
