Wartime Heritage
ASSOCIATION
June 14, 2023
Our Association has been an evolving entity over thirty-one years and through our various initiatives we
have attempted to preserve our Canadian wartime heritage and history.
Through our website the Wartime Heritage Association presents our research, the history, the stories,
articles of the war years, and a history of our initiatives. The website now has some 1860+ pages. Our
Facebook page and our YouTube site also maintains the remembrance of the wartime generation.
“Those Who Served” an initiatives of the Wartime Heritage Association, is an attempt to collect and
present on our website the wartime records, stories, and photos of the men and women who served in World
War I from Yarmouth Town and County, Shelburne, and Digby counties. Other similar initiatives are
remembering the Telegraphist Air Gunners and their connection to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, the Korean War
casualties of Nova Scotia, the WWII casualties of Nova Scotia, and Canadian RCAF casualties aged 15-18.
The Association promotes the importance of remembering the contribution of the men and women of the
war years. To remember the men and women of the war years and their achievement is to understand our
wartime heritage. To emulate their qualities is to build a better society today and tomorrow.
As the wartime generation ages the importance of what our Association does takes on an even greater
importance. The success of our initiatives is possible through generous financial sponsorship of those who
believe in the importance of remembering and the support of our initiatives. To our supporters and sponsors
we owe a sincere thank you.
