Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Three out of five Canadians living today were born after 1900. To most of them the Great War is an impersonal memory, evoked in silence on Armistice Day when the nation pauses to honor the fallen, rededicate itself to peace. Pictured here is the ceremony before Toronto's cenotaph last year.
