Claude Dettloff captured a personal tragedy of a young child w | LOST HISTORY

Claude Dettloff captured a personal tragedy of a young child when he took photographs of the British Columbia Regiment march of October 1, 1940.

Claude's photo depicts five-year-old Warren Whitey Bernard running from his mother to his father, Private Jack Bernard, shouting, "Wait for me, Daddy”.

The moment captured in the photograph is so poignant about the pain children feel when separated from their fathers that the photograph later became widely known: it was published in Life and hung in every school in British Columbia during the war.

And Claude, imbued with his son's affection for his father, began to follow this separated family, and filmed their reunion when Jack returned from the war.
