Winnie soon charmed all of the soldiers and got her own post to climb in the tent city. On the train in Canada, he saw a little bear cub at a station and purchased the bear, even though he was headed into war. Harry was a veterinarian sent from his home in Winnipeg to care for the soldier’s horses in World War I. It is the story of his great-great-grandfather, after whom he was named. The book takes the format of a mother telling a bedtime story to her young son. Told by the great-granddaughter of Captain Harry Colebourn, this is the true story of the real bear who inspired Winnie-the Pooh.
