The Anguish of War book reading is being presented by military historian/author, Gene Lotz in partnership with the Royal Canadian Legion
Fort Malden Branch 157 (Amherstburg, Ontario) on Sunday June 2, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. FREE - ALL WELCOME !
The Anguish of War book reading will honour the memory of the fallen from Amherstburg, Ontario.
Lotz’s book, The Anguish of War, is the result of two decades of in-depth research into the lives of 1600 Veterans (of all stripes) from Windsor and Essex County who followed in the footsteps of another generation and “filled the ranks.”
They came from all backgrounds and walks of life. They left the comforts of family and home knowing they were doing the right thing. They gave up a piece of individuality to become a part of something larger than themselves defending the integrity of our Canadian democracy and safeguarding those fundamental civil liberties that are often denied to so many the world over!
“From the Boer War to the Afghanistan War – patriotic duty, service, courage, and sacrifice – we have their name on monuments, but there’s more to them — their lives lived. Who are they?” asks Lotz.
