Men and women boarding the leave boat to head back to England
This postcard from the Mackenzie family shows pictures of men and women boarding the leave boat to head back to England (“Blighty”) before returning home to Canada. In addition to serving overseas, many soldiers also found war brides during the World Wars and returned home with them after being demobilized. Most of the war brides came from Great Britain, with smaller numbers coming from Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy and Germany.
