KAMLOOPS β As people across Canada prepare to pause on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month to mark Remembrance Day, CFJC sat down Lt. Col. Robin Steel, a 30-year-veteran of the British Army, who now calls Kamloops home.
Steel witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall in Germany and also saw first-hand the racial conflict in Southern Rhodesia, in what is now Zimbabwe.
He shared some of his story with CFJC and spoke to the importance of remembrance.
