Wait for Me, Daddy <img src="http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/canadian-boy-tries-to-join-dad-in-army-311x400.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> On Saturday August 26, 1939 Hitler threatened Poland and demanded  control of the city of Danzig. The same day, the Regimental Adjutant in  British Columbia, Canada received a call from the Canadian capital  instructing him to call out the BC Regiment. On September 10, 1939 the  Parliament of Canada declared war against the German Reich. On October  1, 1940 the British Columbia Regiment was ordered to Nanaimo and then  overseas. The soldiers made a famous march down Eighth Street in New  Westminster. At the intersection of Eighth and Columbia Avenue, Claude P. Dettloff  captured a photograph of Private Jack Bernard’s 5-year-old son Warren  (Whitey) running from his mother to join his father in line. The picture  received extensive exposure during the Second World War and was used in  war-bond drives. It documents the struggle that many children feel as  their parents travel to war. The photo gained exposure in Life magazine  and was hung in every school in British Columbia during the war. When  Jack Bernard returned home, Claude Dettloff was on hand to photograph  the family’s reunion. Jack and Bernice Bernard would eventually divorce. Interesting Fact Whitey Bernard doesn’t remember getting his picture taken, but does  remember the next day when the image was published in the Province  Newspaper. He soon became the most famous kid in Canada. Whitey was even  enlisted to sell war bonds.</blockquote>
