How a 97 year old letter found in a London, Ontario home reached its author's family. ​I am absolutely thrilled to have personally tracked down the living family and reunited them with this incredible piece of their history. ❤️ CBC link in reply.

A fascinating story behind a photo in the Nursing Times

The press called it the first khaki wedding in the town - between a soldier and a local nurse
What happened to the happy couple?
(I’ll give you a clue. It wasn’t a happy ending. )

@ebd_edwards They lived in St. Thomas, Ontario and had at least 4 sons and one daughter. Jessie died in 1949 and is buried in St. Thomas Cemetery. I believe he remarried Susan Murphy. Maurice died in 1975 and is buried in St. Thomas Cemetery.

@ebd_edwards He married Jessie Eva May Noyce in St. John's Church, Milford, Surrey in November 1918. She came to Canada with her husband in May 1919 on the Melita and was headed to St. Thomas, Ont. She listed her occupation as Amo Fitter. He is listed as either Morris or Maurice in records.
