From the very urban landscape of England Eswyn's destination was Empress, Alberta. But the shock was not as great as one would expect because both her husband and his family had prepared her well. 'Bill had told me what to expect. I expected it [Canada] to be different.'14
Eswyn is now in the process of writing a book about the experiences of the war brides and has compiled an extensive registry of over 3000 names of war brides.'War brides formed by far the largest organized group ever to emigrate to Canada, unique in that they were all women, and were born within a few years of each other. As the years go by much information about them is being lost.'
