NOVEMBER 2, 1944 — RIFLEMAN ALLAN BRUCE SINGER 🇨🇦
Sometimes, a single photograph tells us more about the cost of war than a thousand words.
In this photograph, Rifleman Allan Bruce Singer stands in uniform with his two young daughters, Berngula and Barbara.
Allan’s family home was in Windsor, Nova Scotia. During the Second World War, he served with the Regina Rifle Regiment, part of Canada’s 3rd Infantry Division.
By the autumn of 1944, his regiment was fighting in the Battle of the Scheldt, one of the Canadian Army’s most difficult campaigns in Northwest Europe.
Although Allied forces had liberated Antwerp, its vital port remained unusable while German forces controlled the approaches through the Scheldt estuary.
The Regina Rifles were among the Canadian infantry units that assaulted the Leopold Canal on October 6, 1944, as part of Operation Switchback.
It was a brutal campaign fought across canals, flooded farmland and narrow roads, against determined German resistance. The fighting would continue for weeks.
On November 2, 1944, as Canadian forces neared the completion of their operations to clear the German-held Breskens Pocket, Allan Bruce Singer was killed in action in Belgium.
He died just one day before the southern shore of the Scheldt was secured.
Back home in Nova Scotia, he left behind his wife, Edna, and their two little girls.
In January 1946, Edna received official correspondence concerning the reburial of her husband’s remains at Adegem Canadian War Cemetery in Belgium.
Years later, in May 1953, one of Allan’s daughters, now married, wrote to Canadian authorities seeking information concerning her father’s estate.
Nearly nine years had passed since his death, yet its consequences were still part of his family’s life.
Today, Rifleman Allan Bruce Singer rests at Adegem Canadian War Cemetery, grave X.H.1.
He was a Canadian soldier, a husband, and a father of two little girls.
In this photograph, we see the man they knew and loved — a father holding his children close, before war took him from their lives.
Eighty-two years later, we remember Rifleman Allan Bruce Singer, his sacrifice, and the family he left behind.
Lest we forget. 🇨🇦

Private Herman Delbert Firby (1896–1917)
21st Battalion, Canadian Infantry
November 3, 1917 — Passchendaele, Belgium
Just 21 years old. Killed in the early morning fighting at Passchendaele.
Born in Corinth, Ontario, on March 31, 1896, Herman Delbert Firby enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force at Windsor on November 1, 1915.
Two years later, almost to the day, he was serving with the 21st Battalion near Passchendaele, where Canadian soldiers faced relentless artillery fire, devastated terrain, and determined German resistance.
In the early hours of November 3, 1917, German artillery opened fire on the battalion’s positions. At approximately 5:10 a.m., German assault troops attacked its right company, forcing a temporary withdrawal of some 50 yards.
The battalion quickly reorganized and counterattacked, restoring its line. A second German assault at 5:40 a.m. was repelled by Lewis gun and rifle fire.
Private Firby was killed by enemy shellfire that morning.
He was just 21 years old.
The battalion’s war diary recorded 43 dead and 91 wounded over 48 hours of fighting. Firby was among those who would never return home.
He has no known grave. His name is inscribed on the Menin Gate Memorial in Ypres, Belgium, alongside thousands of soldiers whose final resting places remain unknown.
Today, 109 years later, we remember a young Canadian whose life ended far from home.
Private Herman Delbert Firby. We remember.

THEY STOOD ON GUARD 🇨🇦
November 1, 1918 — Sergeant Hugh Cairns, Victoria Cross
Ten days before the Armistice, a 21-year-old Canadian sergeant launched a series of extraordinary attacks near Valenciennes, France, that would earn him the Victoria Cross—and cost him his life.
Hugh Cairns had emigrated from England to Saskatoon in 1911. An apprentice plumber and keen footballer, he enlisted in 1915 alongside his brothers.
Already awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal for bravery at Vimy Ridge, Hugh suffered a devastating personal loss in September 1918 when his brother Albert died of wounds. A fellow soldier later recalled Hugh expressing his determination to avenge him.
On November 1, serving with the 46th Battalion, Hugh’s platoon came under German machine-gun fire.
Grabbing a Lewis gun, he charged the enemy position alone, killing its five-man crew and capturing the weapon.
When another machine gun halted the advance, he charged again, killing 12 German soldiers, capturing 18 prisoners and seizing two more guns.
Despite being wounded, Hugh led a small party around another enemy position, forcing approximately 50 Germans to surrender.
But his final encounter proved fatal.
During a patrol near Marly, Hugh’s men captured another 60 enemy soldiers. While the prisoners were being disarmed, a German officer shot him in the abdomen.
Though gravely wounded, Hugh continued fighting until blood loss caused him to collapse.
He died the following day, November 2, 1918—just nine days before the war ended.
Posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross, Hugh Cairns became the last Canadian to earn that distinction during the First World War.
In 1936, the grateful citizens of Valenciennes named an avenue in his honour.
A young man from Saskatoon who helped liberate a French city, but never lived to see peace.

Asking for prayers again for my wife. She's been in the hospital since Tuesday, 10/27. She had a major stroke on the right side of her brain causing paralysis on her left side. At the same time there was a smaller stroke on her left side of the brain with pinprick bleeding. I haven't slept more than 3-4 hours a night since Tuesday. She's out of the danger zone, but still paralyzed and her blood pressure is still spiking. I'm very scared I might lose my wife or that she'll never be able to walk and do things like she used to again.
This all started in June of 2025 when I left Tesla, it triggered a major anxiety event in her. I was making good money at Tesla, enough for us to survive on and be okay and then suddenly I wasn't and that triggered an episode in her. I know that sounds crazy, but that's what happened. At the time I thought Elon Musk was acting really out of sorts with the whole Trump/Epstein thing and I felt I couldn't continue working there. That and I hated my job. I was begging for tech services for a year and they just kept me on the phones, which for a guy who likes to work with his hands and not talk to people was like psychological torture. So after I quit, she had kind of breakdown and I was unemployed for 6 months with nothing but savings to live on. She got so anxious she ended up in the ER with super high BP. Since then she's racked up over 100k in Emergency room debts and has been diagnosed with Anxiety Disorder and prescribed BP meds, and a host of psyche pills that didn't do anything to help her. Honestly, if I'd known how my quitting would have affected her, I absolutely would not have. At the time I had enough to cover expenses for at least 4 months and was going to find a good tech job, but with her health going down the tubes it turned into a chaotic nightmare.
Fast forward to the other night, Monday, 10/27, she complained that her left hand was numb and weak. I thought maybe she slept on it wrong, or maybe was holding the phone too much. Hours and hours later, she said it was getting weaker. I took her to the emergency room. They determined it was probably a lack of B12. They ran a blood test but didn't do any CT scans in case it was a stroke. They're familiar with my wife and assume everything she says is just her anxiety talking, so they figured she was just freaking out over nothing and didn't bother to even consider a stroke. Although, they know she's on BP meds and her BP was something like 165/110 at the time.
So Tuesday, when I got out of work I came home and saw she was slumped over and talking very slowly. She could not move her left arm and every time she tried to step forward her body turned left and almost fell. That's when I knew she was in big trouble. I called 911 had the ambulance come and take her in. I told the ER crew what happened. They saw it was her and just assumed it was anxiety again. So they stuck in her in a room and the hours kept going by. I persistently asked when she was going to get CT scans, they kept saying it's on the schedule. We went in at 3:45 PM on Tuesday, they did the scans close to 8 PM and that's when they realized she was having a major stroke.
They rushed her to the ICU and by that time her whole left side was completely dysfunctional. I broke down in tears, this is all my fault after all. The next day they do the MRI. The doctor tells me, "Looks like the stroke started on Monday-" (when she went in with the numb and weak left hand) "-and now that we've seen the MRI it's worse then we thought. She's outside the window for any effective treatment, so we'll have to consider surgery or other options."
I was wrecked. Here we are on Sunday, she's still in the hospital and her left arm is completely paralyzed. She's still out of it mentally. Her left leg has some function but she can't stand or walk.
I need prayers for her recovery, please. I'm mad at the hospital for not doing the CT scan on Monday when she would have been in the window for immediate treatment that would have prevented brain damage. I'm mad at myself for quitting Tesla and causing her to have a major anxiety episode that led to this.
In a letter to his mother, Sergeant Archer promised her he would return from Europe as "good a boy as when I went away."
Canadians will remember his sacrifice.
In the days leading up to Remembrance Day, I will be profiling the stories of Canada's soldiers.
Today, we begin with Tommy Prince.

Hello guys. Forrest and I felt led to start a give send go for @sola_chad and his wife. The have suddenly taken in 2 boys for the foreseeable future and as foster parents ourselves we know how hard this is BUT they are not in the foster system so they will recieve NO compensation for this at all. We know how hard it was to even stay above water WITH the stipend amount. I can’t imagine this happening with no warning and no stipend. One of the little boys is in the hospital and this is going to be a hard road God has chosen so helping ease the financial burden would be awesome if you feel led. Prayers first and foremost but if you are able to donate that would surely help them!
Please share!

Today I am designating former Libyan judicial police official Osema Almasri Habeesh Najeem for his role in the torture and cruel, inhumane, and degrading treatment of detainees. The Trump Administration will not tolerate violence and abuse against Christians or members of other religious minority groups.
UPDATE: First let me say thank you to all who have prayed. The young boy is heavily sedated and has undergone two surgeries to relieve pressure on his brain. He has responded to some stimuli over the past 24 hours. He still needs a lot of prayers.
Another prayer request I have is that he and his 11 year old brother have been placed in me and my wife’s custody for the foreseeable future. This is a huge adjustment for us and we want to love them and show them Christ’s love as well. Pray for all of us. And pray for the boys’ biological family as well.
This Women's History Month, we celebrate Sgt Karen Hermiston, the first and only female photographer in the Canadian Army Film and Photo Unit during the Second World War. Her documentation helped preserve Canada's wartime story.
St.Bernard dogs are Catholic. And they were bred by monks!
The big fluffy dog with the barrel around its neck was bred for holy rescue missions.
These dogs were bred by the Augustinian Canons of the Great St. Bernard Hospice, a monastery located in the dangerous, snowy pass between Switzerland and Italy.
The monks trained the dogs to find lost travelers buried in avalanches. The famous barrel (though perhaps legendary) was said to contain brandy to warm the victim. They saved over 2,000 lives.
