The meaning of sacrifice

Over 500 WW2 and Korean vets continue to be cared for at Sunnybrook. Harold Prout worked here for decades.

"Is it possible to measure the courage of a man if an examination is made of the manner in which he handles the damage inflicted upon his mind or body by war? The experience of Harold Prout seems to define the kind of riflemen we had in Northwest Europe. They need not take a backseat to any of Hitler’s supermen."

 

Canuck,

Thanks for sharing this with us. Very moving story.
