In honour of the men who served with the 48th Highlanders of Canada during World War 2 we present their photographic journey from Toronto to England in the fall of 1939 and the spring of 1940. Their heroic contribution in France (1940), Sicily and Italy (1943-44) and finally the liberation of Apeldoorn in 1945 will live on in our memories and in the displays at the 48th Highlanders Regimental Museum at 73 Simcoe St Toronto, Ontario.

We remain to them, Dileas Gu Brath, (Faithful Forever).

  • VERY touching and VERY moving! My Grandfather who passed away early this year, was a part of these very brave gentlemen. If anyone has any information of a MacDoe Robert Hay, he went by his middle name, and hated his first name.

  • I've got a great picture with My Grandfather and all of his Comrades together in the Netherlands. Alslo nice to see what they went through to get over seas. Great Video!

  • Outstanding video. Saw a picture of my Grandfather! Thank you for a great video.

    mr10am, the 48th have always been a reserve unit and that is what makes everything that they have accomplished in their very storied history even more incredible!

    Dileas!

  • Very moving, I think to the men who fought and fell for the sake of liberty, I'd been a piper for 42 years and proud to be, I once plaid for the British legion, to inaugurate a stele to commemorate the crash of a Halifax bomber, near Annecy france, in 1943, it's an unforgettable day to me, I plaid before the flags to lean the RAF men to a meeting place, after the ceremony

    please what's the name of the first retreat march plaid here and which band plays it, ?
