Rediscovering Love and Sacrifice: A WWII Veteran’s Letters Inspire Hope and Unity in Canada
A touching narrative titled “The November Project” sheds light on the heartwarming exchange of love letters, between Frank Horgan, fondly known as Horgie and his wife Marthe Horgan lovingly referred to as Peachie during World War II. Throughout his service in Europe with the Canadian Armed Forces from 1941 to 1946 Horgie penned over 300 letters to Peachie chronicling his experiences and professing his enduring love. These intimate letters have been transformed into a series of four self published books named “Frank Love Letters” by their grandson Robert Horgan, providing a glimpse into the connection shared by the couple amidst the backdrop of turmoil. This condensed retelling of their story serves as a tribute for Remembrance Day, honouring the sacrifices and learnings of our ancestors.
