Those terrible sirens fireworks that whistled and exploded. people pretending to be victims The civil defense personnel all in uniform. I was only 16 and it staid with me.

Did you know that it was also a toilet wich I vaguely remember using, must be in the beginning of the 40s. I have a few other photos of the Woodland park wich I will also post. There are hundreds of these Verdun photos but of course I can't post them all. I will just select those that are representative of the era. I guess there aren't many left that are familiar with the Bandstand but it would be nice to hear from those that are and would like to share their memories.<br />GuyGuy Billardhttp://shgverdun.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464100720604662734.post-8236095905462243452010-04-05T09:37:35.000-07:002010-04-05T09:37:35.000-07:00link to article in an old Montreal Gazette,re: the...link to article in an old Montreal Gazette,re: the building of the bandstand ,including the names of all in the photo,looks like the Pav in the background too.....
