Iconic 'Wait For Me, Daddy' WW II photo unveiled as sculpture



In 1940, as solders marched through the streets of New Westminster, B.C., five-year-old Warren (Whitey) Bernard broke free from his mother's hand and ran after his father, who was headed off to battle in Europe. Photographer Claude Dettlo's photo 'Wait For Me, Daddy,' made it into newspapers across North America including Life magazine.

Now that photograph has been immortalized in the form of a series of bronze statues on the very corner where the picture was taken.
