Ghosts of Soldiers Past to Walk the Streets of Toronto

Among the walking ghosts is Private Fred Lee, an original Rocky Mountain Ranger and machine gunner of the 172nd Battalion. Born in Kamloops BC, Lee was one of just three known soldiers of Chinese descent. He disappeared without a trace at the Battle of Hill 70 and has no known grave. His name is carved into the stone walls of the Vimy Memorial, along with 11,285 others. Like all the ghosts appearing on the Toronto streets, Private Fred Lee cannot talk or engage with passers-by, but he will show you his data card that tells his story for all to know. Fred Lee was the subject of two documentaries, Finding Fred Lee 1.0 and One of OURS – The Life of Private Fred Lee, both produced and directed by Jack Gin.
