Hi List, Madalyn sent me the WW2 returning service men clippings and here are the results: One of the scans responded well to OCR and with a few hand corrections I think it is pretty accurate. I've copied it below. The other "airmen" was a little too fuzzy to OCR well. Still quite readable so I have put the scans of both clippings on our free downloads page for you to access: Go to: http://www.archivecdbooks.ca/downloads.html and scroll down till you find "News Clippings" near the bottom. Click on the "Download (X KB)" to see the scanned clipping. Use your browser's "Save as" to keep a copy for yourself. OCRed text of "Soldiers" clipping: N. B.
