This week's interviewee, Robert M. Currie, describes his time during the Second World War. His journey through Britain, Belgium, and Germany during the 1940s provides a unique perspective of someone from Strathcona who came home to see the postwar boom.
These interviews were recorded in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. Both social attitudes and language standards have changed since that time. Some opinions expressed and language used may be offensive to listeners today.
