Wait for Me, Daddy
''Wait for Me, Daddy'' is a photo taken by Claude P. Dettloff on October 1, 1940, of The British Columbia Regiment (Duke of Connaught's Own Rifles) marching down Eighth Street at the Columbia Street intersection, New Westminster, Canada. While Dettloff was taking the photo, Warren "Whitey" Bernard ran away from his mother to his father, Private Jack Bernard. The picture received extensive exposure and was used in war-bond drives.
==Background==
On Saturday August 26, 1939, Hitler was threatening Poland and demanding Danzig. At 4:15 that morning the Regimental Adjutant in British Columbia, Canada received a call from the Canadian capital instructing him to call out the BC Regiment. Soldiers fanned out in the city to guard vulnerable points. On September 10, 1939, the Parliament of Canada declared war against the German Reich, which had invaded Poland on the first of the month. While other units were sent to the United Kingdom, the British Columbia Regiment was left behind on the west coast. After months of drills and guard duty the regiment was ordered out and on October 1, 1940, marched to New Westminster to catch a waiting ship, the SS ''Princess Joan'',〔LeBlanc, Ron, Keith Maxwell, Dwayne Snow and Kelly Deschênes, ''Swift & Strong: A Pictorial History of The British Columbia Regiment (Duke of Connaught's Own)'', Vancouver: The British Columbia Regiment (Duke of Connaught's Own) Museum Society, 2011, page 159.〕 to their secret destination.
