Veteran captures 'scents' of London and military life in candles
LONDON, ONT. -- Just a month into retirement from the Royal Canadian Navy, David Lewis knew he needed to find a new career. But it had to have a ‘scent’ of resemblance to his old job, “I loved what I did and I did it. It was hard to pull myself away from it.” The solution, a tender craft with a hard edge - candle-making. In just 18 months, with a YouTube education, he has built Battle Rattle Candle Company. His inventory includes dozens of scents, from the odour of basic training (which has a scent similar to freshly laid dirt) to various aspects of deployment.
