Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Larry Gray served twenty-four years in the Royal Canadian Air Force as an navigator. He served in Cold War Europe and on United Nations operations. Following military service he was employed as an advocate and adjudicator of veterns' disability pensions.
Always a history buff, during his European tour he visited Vimy Ridge and the muddy trenches of the Great War. The interest never waned. In 1986, he developed and led a veterans' organization tour of Flanders, culminating in their presence on Vimy Ridge on July 26, 50 years to the day of its unveiling.
