Has any published Veteran’s story been left out?
DISTRICT (Staff) – The Temiskaming Speaker has set a deadline of Friday August 21 for the public to give us feedback regarding the paper’s project on surviving World War II vets.
The Temiskaming Speaker is nearing completion of a book containing the stories we’ve told over the past two decades with area World War II veterans.
The book will consist of previously published stories going back to the 1990s. Since March of this year we have reached out to the public asking if they knew of any surviving World War II veterans who may not have had membership in the Royal Canadian Legion. We thank the public for their input and we thank those veterans for consenting to be interviewed.
In order to make absolutely certain we have not left anyone out, we are publishing this list, in alphabetical order, of the people who will be featured in the book.
This list of 57 veterans who have had their story published in The Speaker dates back to 1994. If we’ve missed someone, please contact us at (705) 647-6791, extension 239 or email gord@northernontario.ca.
