Yeah it's a weird feeling opening a book and seeing it signed with a name in beautiful handwriting and dated to the late 1800's. All the thoughts that person had as they read the same pages as you have been gone for over a century. Anybody they ever knew is probably dead. Their little signature in the front page is probably one of the last bits of material evidence that they ever lived at all.
Pic related was the poem that I found, the book was '100 years, the Royal Canadian Regiment'
