Wait for Me Daddy memorial unveiled (Photo)

It was a single photograph, but it captured so much about family, separation and the uncertainty of war.

A photo by Claude Dettloff has made its mark in New Westminster in the same spot it was taken 74 years ago.

Whitey Bernard was just five years old when he let go of his mother’s hand to reach for his father one last time before he went to war, 74 years ago.

“Yes, Sgt. Jack Bernard returned safely home in October 1945. But, the photo is the last record of us together as a family.”

The single photo titled “Wait for Me Dadd”y has made its mark on Canadian history .

It’s Now, a sculpture in Hyack Park.

Along with the sculpture in New Westminster, the photo Wait For Me Daddy can now be found on a brand new toonie and postage stamp.
