Cape Bretoners in World War Two
This website is a summary of the people I currently have in my
database of 15,778  individuals from Cape Breton who served in
World War Two, including 472 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 nstn1855@ca.inter.net. 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 learned that approximately 15,200  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. Also I don’t plan  on including any personal information for individuals that are still living and will withhold it until they have been dead for at least a year.


Please
note:

For those with dial-up connections (like me!) some pages are quite large and will take longer to load in your browser. Please be patient.
