Title: War Brides' Mothers Come to Canada
 
Type: Film and Video

After a rough sea crossing they're glad to have landed, and they're planning to stay a while -- two, three, even six months. CBC News greets the mothers on the pier.

Title: The Italian Campaign: Canada Declares War on Italy
 
Type: Sound
Description: A full year before the D-Day landings in Normandy, there were the Allied invasions of Sicily and Italy. Canada played a major role in the Allies' first breach of Hitler's "Fortress Europe" in 1943 and 1944. Canadian soldiers defeated entrenched German forces but paid a terrible price. Seaside towns and mountain passes became places of horror: Ortona, Cassino, Rimini. But with the events of D-Day and the Allied push across Europe, the Italian Campaign became a forgotten front, a deadly sideshow that cost nearly 6,000 Canadian lives. Sixty years later, their bravery is remembered.
