Okay - I'll try this one more time. It bounced back the first time........ ---------- Good morning folks. As part of our annual Remembrance Day observance at the Penetanguishene Centennial Museum, we honour area soldiers (Penetanguishene/Tiny Township) who served in World Wars I and II. As years go by, we will expand this to include service in other world wide conflicts. Last year, Pam did a magnificent job of locating and researching every soldier from the area who had served in World War I and created a wonderful, permanent record of these folks. This is available at the museum for viewing any time the research room is open. This year, we are expanding on this somewhat by featuring a small group of soldiers who fought in World War Two. It is by no means as inclusive or well documented as the World War One display, simply because we are dealing with times that are fairly current, historically speaking. From this group we will be featuring, there are ten men who lost their lives in the field and the display will (hopefully) highlight these men. This is NOT meant to exclude anyone - rather these ten fellows will be the representatives for the larger Penetanguishene and area group. We have managed to locate many records for these men, but would love to be able to personalize the display with either family photos or memories. If you are kin to, or have an association with, any of the following, we'd love to hear from you. If you would care to share photos with us, we promise they'll be treated with great respect and taken care of. We can copy them and keep them for our permanent records, or return to you - whatever your preference. If you want to contact me off list, feel free to do so. These are the ten soldiers: Arthur Kenneth BLOIS born 23 July 1912, Nova Scotia - died in the field (France) 29 July 1944. Connection to Penetanguishene - married Edith CALVERLY of the village.

If you need confirmation of parents to ensure you have the correct person, I have that here, but didn't want to clog up this letter with too many names and dates. Thanks folks.
