The Veteran on the Canadian $10 Bill

Thanks for that! I had to look over a bill with my magnifier to read the poem. It's great to know the story behind the bill.

Talk about hijacking a thread! But hey I can see my house from the moon!

May I borrow your glass, Macman? Mine seems to have gone missing. Thank you, Canuck, for a good story well told.

Just a note... this story may warm the heart, but may not be true. Read on.

If the account is not true, there have been several years to disprove it: although new to me, the link shows that it was first published in a Canadian veteran's magazine in circa 2005. But if it's nonetheless a total confabulation, that will certainly emerge shortly because the story is being widely circulated here in Canada. I'll let you know!

I'm from, in and never left Canada and it's the first I have heard of it. I also doubt that the Bank of Canada would get it wrong.
