Original Toronto Star caption: At the cenotaph, Mayor David Crombie studies the diary of a World War I soldier that ends on 'Hear we are moving tomorrow, leading the mayor to suspect the soldier was killed just 35 days before the Nov. 11, 1918 Armistice. For Crombie, the World War I diary symbolizes the Armistice Day message: Lest we forget.
