World War I 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 Memorial 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 1,750 men and women. In 2016 a listing of the casualties of Shelburne and Digby Counties, Nova Scotia, were added. Information on Remembering World War I is updated regularly. World War II The Association has identified 201 casualties 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 names on the Yarmouth Town and County War Memorial, and other local sources. In 2017, the Association expanded its research to include all Nova Scotia World War II casualties. IN 2021, research research began to identify all Canadian, World War Two Royal Canadian Air Force casualties aged sixteen, seventeen, and eighteen at the time of their death. A listing of the casualties provides casualty names and the details of their service.
