In 2012, Wartime Heritage began researching those from our
local community of Yarmouth Town and County of Nova Scotia
who’s names appear on the Yarmouth Cenotaph and prepared web
pages for each individual.
In 2014, as a World War I Centenary Initiative, the
Association began to identity individuals with connections to
Yarmouth Town and County who served during World War I. At
present, the list contains over 1,500 men and women.
Information in Remembering World War I is updated
regularly. If you know of someone missing from our list or you
recognize any of the existing names, we encourage you to please
share photos, letters, and memories with us so we may include
them in the collection.
The Association has identified 151 casualties of individuals
connected to Yarmouth Town and County in the Second World War.
Over the years, the Association has collected information on each
casualty from sources that include the American Battle Monuments
Commission, the Books of Remembrance in Ottawa, the Canadian
Virtual War Memorial (Veterans Affairs), the Commonwealth War
Graves Commission, the 117 names on the Yarmouth Town and
County War Memorial, and other local sources.

Telegraphist Air Gunners
Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, has a unique connection to the
Telegraphist Air Gunners (TAGs) Fleet Air Arm, Royal Navy of World
War II. Of the three thousand TAGs trained, five hundred seventy
completed their training in Yarmouth at RCAF Station Yarmouth -
East Camp.
Over the years Wartime Heritage has maintained a connection
with Telegraphist Air Gunners who served in World War II and the
Association has attended Memorial Services in England at Lee-on-
Solent on a number of occasions.
Wartime Heritage has attempted to collect as much
information as possible on TAGS and continues to update the
website. The site contains articles, stories, and photos.
