For hundreds of Canada's war brides, this week's journey back to Pier 21 in
Halifax was met with more fanfare than their original journey, more than 60
years ago.

The war brides arrived in Halifax at about 6 p.m. Tuesday on a special Via
train that stopped in locations all over Canada to pick them up.

Pier 21, the train's final destination, is the Halifax port where nearly
50,000 British and European women arrived following the Second World War,
after marrying Canadian soldiers posted overseas.
