From Vimy to Juno in Montréal

​Yesterday the ​Juno Beach Centre's Canad​ian​ team was in Montreal for a vernissage to launch From Vimy to Juno​ at the McGill University Hospital​. The exhibition was on display alongside many​ rare​ art​efacts describing the hospitals history, including a copy of In Flanders Fields handwritten by John McCrae. We were honoured to be in the presen​ce ​of D-Day Veteran and JBC founder Okill Stuart, as well as Margie MacNaughton Glassford, ​the only daughter of First and Second World War veteran John Archibald MacNaughton. Major Andrew Beckett, a trauma surgeon who served in Bosnia and Afghanistan, addressed the crowd about the history of the hospital and the No. 3 General Hospital in the First World War. 

The event was well-attended and the exhibits well-received. Thanks very much to the fantastic team at the Montreal General Hospital​ and Archives​ for putting together this event and hosting a wonderful afternoon!
