Actual photo info: This one is as happy as a wartime photo can be! A son runs to say goodbye to his dad, a soldier in the British Columbia Regiment as they march to deployment. The unit deployed for training and defence against a possible Japanese invasion before converting to an armour regiment and being deployed for D-Day. Father, Jack Bernard, survived and was eventually reunited with his family.

There is a statue of this picture in New Westminster, BC.
Damn, I was thinking this photo is a straight 50/50 depending on how the father ended up. Glad he got back fine.
Yeah, figured we could use a happy one! (Also, my nazi rally joke did not do very well so…)
