Cape Bretoners in World War Two

Welcome to the redesigned site. Google Sites has a new format and all websites must be transferred prior to 1 September 2021. Unfortunately I failed to activate the links at that time but all links should be live now. Please contact me if any links do not work.

This website is a summary of the people I currently have in my database of 16, 172individuals from Cape Breton who served in World War Two, including 541 that served in the Canadian Merchant Navy. If you can add any information at all to those listed, add missing individuals, provide corrections, etc., please contact me at cbww2@seaside.ns.ca or fill in the form on my Cape Bretoners At War homepage. Thanks to the help of all those that have already contributed to the site thus far (see below), I have added over 4000 individuals since going on line in March 2006. I will continue to make additions and make updates as time goes by and hopefully on a regular basis. I have estimated that about 16,000 Cape Bretoners served in uniform and an unknown number served in the Canadian Merchant Navy. That is why I am still requesting any help you can give me to make it a complete list of those that served. For an explanation of details, and list of information I would like to include in my database, see my background page, list of rank abbreviations and list of unit abbreviations pages. I have included a statistics page to keep track of my progress. It contains a comparison to the estimated numbers who served and the numbers in my database. I include fatal casualties and veterans’ deaths from obituaries, etc. in my database to determine the numbers of veterans still living. Currently I have nominal lists of those that served on the website plus details of fatal casualties. I plan to include in the future details of veterans as well but I don’t plan on including any personal information for individuals that are still living and will withhold it until they are deceased for at least a year. Look for these in future updates.
