Remembrance Day!

Today I remember my Dad, Riley Prieston who was a member of the Winnipeg Grenadiers and fought in Hong Kong during World War II along with his brother, William and my great uncle Ed Eggie. William was killed a few days after landing in Japan. My Dad and uncle were Prisoners of War for 4 1/2 years. They were starved, tortured and suffered many illnesses but survived and came home. My Dad was killed in a tractor accident 10 years later on the family farm. I was 5 years old. My Mom was 25 years old with six kids under 8 yrs.
