SEAFORTHS RETURN TO CANADA, 1945
LE RETOUR DES SEAFORTHS AU CANADA, 1945
Account of the Seaforth Homecoming to Vancouver on 6 Oct 1945 by Todd Lochhead
An Account / Memoir of the Homecoming to Vancouver of the Seaforths on 6 October 1945. This recollection was for the 50th Anniversary of the return in 1995.
This account is by Todd Lochhead:
September 26, 1995
Todd Lochhead
4391 St. Catherines St., Vancouver, B.C.
I came home before the Battalion , but met them (along with others who had arrived earlier) at the CPR Station. We marched with the Pipes and Drums through the crowds lining the streets back to the Seaforth Armoury.
It was a moving sight to see families and friends rushing out to greet their loved ones.
Personally it was so good to be home after 5 1/2 years, but I couldnt help thinking of the ones who would never return.
