Welcome to our Family Scrapbook. I am Brandon Stevenson and I am going to tell you about my family's World War II experience.
This is my family:
My Parents
This is my father, Robert Stevenson. In this picture, he was 28 years old. This picture was taken just before
he left to defend Canada at the Raid of Dieppe. He was born in Britain. At the age of 21, he met my mother. They then moved
to Canada because my father got promoted to a Lieutenant position in British Columbia.
This is my mother, Janice Stevenson. This picture was taken before my parents got married. My mother was 18 years
old at this time. My mother was born and raised as a British. When she was informed about my father's promotion, she was excited
to come to Canada and start a new life.
My Uncle
This is my uncle, Chuck Stevenson. This picture was taken before he left to fight in the Battle of Hong Kong.
He was 30 years old before he went to the battle. When he got back, he was 34 years old. He spent almost four years in prison
camps as a Prisoner of War.
My Aunt
This is my aunt, Min Stevenson. She got married to my uncle before they moved to Canada. They
came to Canada along with my parents to start a new life, and possibly, a family. However, things got worse after the Pearl
Harbour attacks. My aunt had to go to Internment Camp. Luckily, since my uncle was a soldier, he got her an exemption deeming
him liable to anything she did wrong.
