Original Toronto Star caption: A little body English is used by the Duke of Edinburgh as he chats with war veterans after the royal couple laid a wreath at the National Was Memorial in downtown St. John's. As one veteran of World War I put it . . . I'd do it all again. I was born in Newfoundland. I fought for Newfoundland; and I'll die in Newfoundland. It's still a British colony to me; and I won't have no one say nothing against it. - Robert Martin; 86; is among handful still alive.
