Original Toronto Star caption: Memories of war: Rene Volders (seated) was only 15 when he sheltered Jack Gouinlock from the Nazis in Belgium. Gouinlock had had to bail out of a Halifax bomber he was navigating. Ever since, he's been asking Volders to visit Canada - and at last he's here. They look over a map of German-occupied Belgium.

      Vera Lynn sings: A large crowd at Union Station yesterday gathered to hear Vera Lynn sing some old-time songs at the Heroes' Day Concert, where those who fought in World War II came, many on crutches, to relive memories and chat about those years

      Vivid memories are stirred by these World War I steel helmets, on the left a Canadian tin hat and on the right a German sniper's helmet. L. W. Currell, a businessman and retired lieutenant-colonel, displayed the helmets at a talk on the battle of Vimy Ridge in which Canadian troops distinguished themselves. Currell, a 19-year-old private at the time, told of the battle in Erindale Untied Church last night.
