AUDIO COLLAGE
In recognition of Remembrance Day, this audio collage combines music with selections from a 2011 archive interview Adam Corrigan Holowitz conducted with local World War Two veteran, Joe Bowman. Joe lived in the neighbourhood of Manor Park in London Ontario for most of his life. He was lovingly referred to as “the Mayor of Manor Park”. Joe served as a medic in the Second World War, including on D-Day and the Liberation of Europe. This interview provides an unflinching and honest depiction of World War Two from someone who experienced it firsthand. Joe passed away in 2013 at the age of 94, making this recording a treasured document of his experience.
