On December 28, 1918, the Canso News, the Nova Scotia community’s weekly newspaper, remembered the community’s First World War soldiers in its weekly edition. The cover page displayed the photographs of soldiers who died in service, while the second page contained an extensive list of the wounded.
The year 2014 marked the 100th anniversary of the First World War. This blog contains stories of the war's Guysborough County military personnel, along with background information related to their service. In November 2015, I published the stories of 72 Guysborough County veterans who died from 1915 to 1917. In November 2017, I published a second volume, containing the stories of 64 individuals who died from 1918 to 1937. Both volumes are available for purchase online at bantrypublishing.ca .
