SUMMERLAND – It’s credited as the most famous Canadian photograph of the Second World War.
The image shows a child breaking from his mother’s grasp to reach for the outstretched hand of his father.
Among the sea of soldiers photographed in the October 1, 1940 procession in New Westminster, is an Okanagan war veteran, and that day is still very fresh in the mind of Charles Bernhardt. Neetu Garcha reports.
