I seen a lot of things, like children, hungry children. Seen a lot of things that happens in war. One thing I can say about a Canadian, they sure looked after the children, regardless who they were. The Canadian soldier, or the Canadian army, when they come across children, the children was first. We fed them. The officers would get mad at us and say, some of them, “Hey, you can’t give away our rations.” We don’t know when the next things coming up. That didn’t mean nothing to us. Hell, we’d take them children and feed them. You had to. How could you look at a little kid and say no? I seen them in France when we first went into France. They were starving, a lot of them kids. When we were eating we would throw stuff in the garbage. They would go pick it up and eat it. How in the hell can you not feed them? How can you not look after them, you know? I think Canadians should be proud of their military people because they looked after the children. They looked after other people that was sick as much as they could, you know.
