2007-2008: Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae Gallery

An evocative installation of paintings, photos, objects, and commentaries relay the life-changing experiences of some of the 44,000 women who came to Canada at the end of the Second World War as war brides. The contemporary material speaks of love and war, and adventure and hardship in a time of tremendous upheaval.

An exhibition organized by the Canadian War Museum in collaboration with Bev Tosh.
