Canadian Governor-General, The Earl of Athlone, Gives New Year Greeting “Once more it is my privilege to give you my greetings for the New Year. All of us hope that the war against Germany will be over within the next few months; and that our victorious soldiers, sailors & airmen will soon be with us again. We must however remember that our implacable enemies have their backs to the wall & that they will fight w/ all their strength to delay the inevitable end....bravery that has earned for Canada & her armed services, the admiration of the whole civilized world.” Goes on to give New Year’s Resolution.
