Step inside Camp Bramshott, a bustling “Tin Town” in England where Ernest Fiset and thousands of Canadian soldiers trained during WWI.

Follow Ernest’s journey as he prepares for the front, navigates daily camp life, and ultimately returns home

Ernest Fiset and Deveta Collins were married in 1926 at a small prairie church in Plessis, Saskatchewan. Life was hard from the start—Deveta gave birth three times in two and a half years, losing two babies to premature birth.
