Lest we forget.

Tune in on Tuesday, Nov. 11^th, Remembrance Day - the 90^th anniversary of the end of the First World War, the War to End All Wars-- when VoicePrint presents special programming remembering Canadians who have made the supreme sacrifice in conflicts past and present.

From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., VoicePrint is proud to present the following programming line-up:

• A moment of silence in honour of Canadian soldiers who have died in war and peacekeeping missions around the world.

• A rendition of The Last Post, symbolizing the fact that the duty of the dead soldier is over and that they can rest in peace, follows.

• In honour of the memory of Canadian soldiers who have died in the past year in Afghanistan, our Volunteers will read out their names.

• A dramatic reading of In Flanders Field, the world-famous poem written by Canadian physician and Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae.

• The first of two interview programs, with a theme of remembrance.

- Up first is an interview with Tom Douglas, a freelance writer and author of four books focusing on Canada's military adventures. During the interview, Douglas outlines Canada's growth as a nation during World Wars I and II as well as the Korean War. He examines how the perception of war on the home front has changed over the past 90 years.

• VoicePrint will then present a special selection of letters, recently published in the Globe and Mail, written by a soldier in the early days of World War II to his wife. The young man talks about life in the military, his days of training and a sense of enthusiasm in a time when combat was seen as an adventure.

• The second interview program focuses on the Black Watch Infantry. To many Canadians, the Black Watch Infantry was a part of this country's military fabric for many years. A regular force battalion from 1951 to 1970, the Black Watch's presence in the community was mostly felt in Atlantic Canada. At one point, 85 percent of the Black Watch was composed of soldiers from the Maritimes.

• VoicePrint presents the following interview program on the Black Watch, providing two unique perspectives:

- Major Angus Bonnycastle (Ret'd) of Rothesay, New Brunswick, was in the Black Watch Infantry. He also spent time in the Canadian Airborne regiment. In his later years in the service, he was an Information Officer in Calgary for the Canadian Army. Bonnycastle talks about life in the military and, most especially, in the Black Watch. What was life like in the military? What were the demands on soldiers?

- Joyce Watling provides a woman's perspective of life in the military while her sweetheart was off to war. Ms. Watling is the widow of Major Lloyd Watling - Black Watch Ret'd. Her husband was the recipient of the Military Cross for his overseas services. He later served as Mayor Oromocto in New Brunswick. Much is known of the struggles and sacrifice made in war by the soldiers but what of the wives and loved ones left behind on the home front? VoicePrint asks Joyce Watling what life was like at home while her husband served in faraway places.
