Cape Bretoners in World War Two
|
|
This
website is a summary of the people I currently have in my
database of 15,995 individuals from Cape Breton who served in World War Two, including 499 that served in the Canadian Merchant Navy. If you can add any information at all to those listed, add missing individuals, provide corrections, etc., please contact me at cbww2@seaside.ns.ca. Thanks to the help of all those that have already contributed to the site thus far (see below), I have added close to 2000 individuals since going on line in March 2006. I will continue to make additions and make updates as time goes by and hopefully on a regular basis. I have estimated that about 16,000 Cape Bretoners served in uniform and an unknown number served in the Canadian Merchant Navy. That is why I am still requesting any help you can give me to make it a complete list of those that served. For an explanation of details, and list of information I would like to include in my database, see my background page, list of rank abbreviations and list of unit abbreviations pages. I have included a statistics page to keep track of my progress. It contains a comparison to the estimated numbers who served and the numbers in my database. I include fatal casualties and veterans’ deaths from obituaries, etc. in my database to determine the numbers of veterans still living. Currently I have nominal lists of those that served on the website plus details of fatal casualties. I plan to include in the future details of veterans as well but I don’t plan on including any personal information for individuals that are still living and will withhold it until they are deceased for at least a year. Look for these in future updates. Please note: For those with dial-up connections some pages are quite large and will take longer to load in your browser. Please be patient. Contributors: Thanks very much for your cooperation. Your input is very much appreciated. William Anderson; Ann {for Gouthro}; John R.
