Voici une photo de mon grand-p\u00e8re, Leonard Forkes, et de ses fr\u00e8res Frank et Bert Forkes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon grand-p\u00e8re est entr\u00e9 dans l’arm\u00e9e canadienne en avril 1933, en tant que soldat dans le Princess of Wales’ Own Regiment \u00e0 Kingston. Il est devenu sergent, adjudant, lieutenant et ainsi de suite, et lorsqu’il a pris sa retraite, son commandant int\u00e9rimaire a \u00e9t\u00e9 confirm\u00e9 en tant que major. Je crois savoir qu’il a choisi la \u00ab comptabilit\u00e9 \u00bb comme profession dans la liste des choses qu’il pouvait \u00e9tudier \u00e0 l’universit\u00e9 apr\u00e8s sa retraite, la \u00ab comptabilit\u00e9 \u00bb parce qu’elle \u00e9tait la premi\u00e8re sur la liste. Mon grand-p\u00e8re \u00e9tait un homme pratique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon grand-p\u00e8re aimait beaucoup ma grand-m\u00e8re. Lorsqu’il \u00e9tait en poste \u00e0 Winnipeg, il lui offrait un manteau de fourrure pour No\u00ebl ou un voyage \u00e0 Kingston. Peut-\u00eatre qu’ils n’auraient pas pu se permettre les deux, mais l’histoire est qu’il a trouv\u00e9 un moyen. Je pense qu’il \u00e9tait difficile pour eux d’\u00eatre loin de leur famille.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lorsqu’il a \u00e9t\u00e9 beaucoup plus \u00e2g\u00e9 et qu’il a pris sa retraite, mon grand-p\u00e8re a d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 la maladie d’Alzheimer. Je me souviens que son ami lui a rappel\u00e9 : \u00ab Artilleur un jour, artilleur toujours Len! \u00bb. Je pense qu’il s’est fait de bons amis pour la vie dans l’arm\u00e9e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Je ne sais pas grand-chose des \u00e9tats de service de mon grand-p\u00e8re, mais je crois qu’il \u00e9tait tr\u00e8s fier de sa carri\u00e8re militaire. Il a conserv\u00e9 l’obus du jubil\u00e9 de la reine, et je l’ai. Nous le partageons avec l’\u00e9cole de mon fils dans le cadre de leurs c\u00e9r\u00e9monies du jour du Souvenir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lorsqu’il \u00e9tait \u00e0 la retraite et qu’il n’\u00e9tait plus que mon grand-p\u00e8re, celui-ci m’a transmis de nombreuses valeurs importantes, telles que la force d’\u00e2me, la constance, l’amour et le d\u00e9vouement \u00e0 la famille et au pays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il est aujourd’hui d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9, mais mon grand-p\u00e8re et ma grand-m\u00e8re, ainsi que la vie qu’ils ont b\u00e2tie \u00e0 partir d’une famille de l’arm\u00e9e r\u00e9partie dans divers endroits du Canada, sont des mod\u00e8les importants dans mon esprit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lorsque la course devient difficile et que j’ai l’impression que remonter le Sussex va \u00eatre une v\u00e9ritable \u00e9preuve, je veux voir le visage de mon grand-p\u00e8re, ainsi que celui de ses fr\u00e8res qui ont servi. Ils ont r\u00e9ussi, ils l’ont fait avec gr\u00e2ce et courage. Je suis fier de cet h\u00e9ritage et je peux terminer cette course facilement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
