Eric Brunt of Victoria is now in his fourth year of documenting the 香蕉视频直播榰ntold香蕉视频直播� stories from Canada香蕉视频直播檚 remaining Second World War veterans.

香蕉视频直播淗ow it all started is my grandfather was a World War II veteran and as many of that generation, he didn香蕉视频直播檛 talk much about what he experienced,香蕉视频直播� says Brunt. 香蕉视频直播淚 think his mentality was I didn香蕉视频直播檛 do as much as some of the other guys and as a result, my story isn香蕉视频直播檛 worth sharing香蕉视频直播�.

Brunt says he comes across that a lot in his interviews, as people who think that they aren香蕉视频直播檛 worthy of their story being preserved because they believe they didn香蕉视频直播檛 do much compared to the others.

In early 2018, he took off on a cross-Canada tour in a van-turned-mobile film studio, with the sole goal of preserving as many of those stories as possible.

Since then, he香蕉视频直播檚 spoken with 433 veterans and partnered with Melki Films production house to preserve each one-on-one interview at the Canadian War Museum.

In this edition of Today in B.C., Brunt tells host Peter McCully about travelling to Juno Beach in France for the 75th anniversary of D-Day with Frank Krepps, at the time a 94-year-old veteran from Red Deer, Alta.

香蕉视频直播淏eing on the beach with him was such a surreal experience, but the hardest part and maybe the most powerful part was going to the cemeteries,香蕉视频直播� said Brunt. 香蕉视频直播淭here香蕉视频直播檚 a moment where we香蕉视频直播檙e going through the cemetery together and he points out this person and this person was from Saskatchewan, it was like such a full circle moment for me to have someone that I香蕉视频直播檇 interviewed that shared their story with me to be saluting the grave of someone who香蕉视频直播檇 done the exact same thing as Frank, but had sadly lost his life over there.香蕉视频直播�

He香蕉视频直播檚 giving himself until the end of the year to connect with any remaining veterans who want to share their stories as he travels across the country.

The Eric Brunt Collection will be released in 2024 when the Canadian War Museum launches its digital archives.
