Most poignant photo taken by C.P. Dettloff in Vancouver, Canada on October 1, 1940, when a young 5 year old boy escaped his mother’s grasp and raced to his father, “creating what would become the most famous Canadian photograph of the Second World War and one of the most recognized of all war photos”. This stamp was issued in 2014 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of this photo
