Canadian Artist, Bev Tosh, looks at them with a critical but loving eye - her mother was among the many War Brides coming to the soldiers with whom they'd fallen in love. My idea is to look over Bev Tosh's research of War Brides as another Remembrance Day comes to the forefront and instill romanticism into the coldness of the month of November.
