IODE Walter Baker Chapter at the Canadian War Museum

On Friday, May 9, 2014, 12 members of IODE Walter Baker Chapter were  treated to a special tour of the Canadian War Museum in thanks of our donation to Operation Veteran in 2013.

Dr. Andrew Burtch graciously filled in for the museum's Director General James Whitham who had been called away to attend the special ceremonies on Parliament Hill in commemoration of Canada's mission in Afghanistan.

Dr. Burtch gave chapter members the grand tour of the museum, highlighting the building's architecture as well as interesting pieces of equipment on display; a mobile canteen was of particular interest, as IODE members fund-raised for and donated many of these mobile canteens during WWI and WWII.
