Recordist's notes

The Canada Memorial remembers the one million Canadians who served with British forces during the two World Wars. It faces in the direction of the Canadian port of Halifax in Nova Scotia, from where many Canadian service personnel sailed for Europe. Recorded on a Zoom H2n. There is a little wind noise as I forgot to take the wind shield with me!
