2014 Canada Proof Silver Dollar "We stand shoulder to shoulder with Britain..." - Prime Minister Robert Borden, August 19, 1914
The
reverse image by Canadian artist Bonnie Ross depicts a couple's
emotional farewell at a train station, where the first wave of
volunteers is boarding a train bound for the Valcartier camp. Time
stands still for this couple as they savour one last embrace before his
departure, both of them uncertain of the future that lies ahead. It is a
poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who answered the call
of duty, and their loved ones who remained on the home front.
