Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Memories of war: Rene Volders (seated) was only 15 when he sheltered Jack Gouinlock from the Nazis in Belgium. Gouinlock had had to bail out of a Halifax bomber he was navigating. Ever since, he's been asking Volders to visit Canada - and at last he's here. They look over a map of German-occupied Belgium.
