I'm a member of the Lincoln & Welland Regiment for the last seven and also work at our regiment's museum (Butler's Barracks in Niagara-On-The-Lake Ontario.
If any one would like to share stories photos or would like to donate anything to the museum for display to ensure our regimental history is lives on as a "linc" to the past, they would be be a great asset to our legacy.
If there is anything I can help with, please feel free to contact me.

I would love to reconnect with this couple.the wedding picture was taken by "Fotoreportage van Kempen", Alexander numankade 73 Utrecht. The wedding actually took place in Maartensdyk, and the flowers of the bouquet were lilly of the valley's. this is what she had hand written on the back of the photograpgh.
My husband had always wanted to personal thank them, but it had never been possible. So thru this way i hope to find some of the families.
Thank you.

I am looking for a man who served in the RCOC during WW2. Alec Ernest Mitchell and last known in Toronto, Ontario.

Hi Bryan, In 2004 I participated in a battlefield tour which featured the 4th Canadian Armoured Division. The tour traveled from Normandy, Belgium, Holland and Germany. I have a number of battlefield and monument photos which may be of interest. Email me for more details.

Tomorrow is the 4th of may. In our country this is a national day to remember those who paid the highest price for freedom and all other people killed because of war.
I 'am a 48 years old vet (Sinai, Iraq, Bosnia). By reading the stories of all these brave guys I realize that I'm fortunate to be able to get to this age.
Respect for all of your fellow Canadians who travelled to a distant country so we could regain our freedom. We have been honoring this fact for 65 years now. Their sacrifices will not be forgotten.

My Grandfather and his brother both served in the 23rd Field Regiment RCA of the 4th Armoured Division. I'm heading back to Europe this august so I can finish a Documentary about his Regiments Travel from Normandy to cease fire. This doc has info and live footage from the war which includes a brief history of the 23rd Field Reg. Does anyone know of any monuments at Kapelsche Veer, Hochwald Gap or a Bailey bridges around twente canal or Kusten canal area? I'll check back to this site or send me a msg at my YouTube channel.

Many thanks,

Great work, a real inspiration. I am working on a book about my dad's experiences in WWII. Mom kept his letters from overseas - England and POW camp n Germany. Also, dad's diary from Germany. This has given me some great ideas. Thanks for the work you have done and the tribute to your parents and the vets.

This is a great site. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. I would recommend to you a book called "Because We are Canadians" written by Sgt. Charles Kipp. He was a Sgt in the Lincs and gives very detailed and interesting descriptions of the trials faced by the regiment.

Thank you to the veterans of World War II and to those that liberated Holland. I am grateful for their service as my father was born in Holland in December 1944 and later made his was to Canada with his family in the 1950's. Thank you again and god bless.

William Martin Roscoe was born in St. Catharines and served in the Lincoln and Welland Regiment from 1939-1943. He was killed in action on October 28 while setting up a telephone wire during the liberation of Bergen op Zoom. He has been greatly missed by his signalling partner Ken Rowland and his family.

My Father, Kenneth Rowland was an original member of the Lincoln and Welland regiment. He fought as a signaller in company B from Normandy through Belgium, Holland and Germany. My sisters and I will be accompaning him to Belgium and Holland in May to see the places that he helped to liberate. We will be taking a memorial picture of his buddy and signalling partner William Roscoe who was KIA during the liberation of Bergen op Zoom. This is a picture of Roscoe who began in the Militia with my father when they were about 13 years old and trained together in Canada and England before Normandy. He has been greatly missed. We are wondering if there will be any other members of the Lincoln and Welland regiment going at that time.

My mom was in the Royal Canadian Air Force in Portage La Prarie before I was born and my dad was in the Air Force even when I was 3yrs old in Chicouldame ( sorry dont know how to spell this)

I live very near the Moro River Canadian War Cemetery in Italy, am a writer and am collecting biographies and stories of the soldiers who fought, died and are buried here. If your relative fought in the Italian Campaign and in this area of Abruzzo I would be very interested in hearing from you. Key words: Battle of Ortona, Villa Rogatti, San Leonardo, Seaforth Highlanders, PPCLI, Loyal Eddies, Calgary Tanks, Van Doo's, Hasty Pee's, West Nova Scotias, York & Carlton, etc

Hello, What a great site.

Stanley Dudka joined N.P.A.M. (Non Permanent Active Militia), in 1937 at the age of 14 years and transferred to the North Nova Scotia Highlanders in Sept 1939. He served with the Nova Scotia Highlands during WWII and was with the 3rd Canadian Division, C Company and landed at Berniere sur Mers, Normandy, France D Day.

He was captured by the Germans 3 times and escaped each time. (Stan was wounded in June 1944 in the shoulder, elbow, knee, Finger). He was also a witness at the Nuremberg Trial of Kurt Meyer having witnessed the murder of Canadian Soldiers at the Abbaye d'Ardenne near Authie . He was a loyal and dedicated member of the North Nova Highlanders (Company C), the Canadian Legion, and the Knights of Columbus until his death.

Recently my father has been nominated by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to have a Canadian Coast Guard's new mid-shore patrol vessel named after him. Our family feels that your endorsement would be greatly valued in the decision.

The nomination is supported by Defence Minister Peter McKay, the Juno Beach Society, The Royal Canadian Legion and many other great leaders and organizations.

If you decide to endorse my father could you please CC me when the correspondence has been sent.

Minister of Fisheries: Gail Shea

Thank you to all soldiers who fight for right. My late father fought in WW2 and I know how the memories of war ate at him the rest of his life. Soldiers give up more than most realize.
Bless you all.

For those interested in the Italian campaign, I just found a book "And No Birds Sang" by Farley Mowat, his personal story. Very interesting and gives insight to those of us who have never had to go to war.

I am planning on visiting the grave of my cousin in Holten.

His name was Wm. Alexander McLean of the Royal Winnipeg Rifles.

I wonder if it is possible to contact anyone who may have attended to his grave.

I am hoping to attend the events in Holland for the 65th anniversary, and also hoping that some of my friends will attend as well. All of us are the children of veterans. This site is really inspiring and I realize that I should be putting together a biography of my father who, although wounded in the Black Forest, did return to Canada. A wonderful website.

Good job, i'm creating a dutch remeberance website for warvictims. Keep up the good work.

The 48th Highlanders of Canada Museum is trying to find a photo of all our fallen heroes. If you have a family member who served with the 48th Highlanders and did not come home we would be very thankful to get a picture of him for our archives.

not sure where to look

They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them... on 11/11,at 11am silence!!!!
My dad Roger Brunel was one of the soldiers sent to Kiska during WW2. It was very interesting reading about it all on this website. Thank You. My dad used to tell us stories when he was sent to Kiska and how lucky they were to arrive there and the Japanese had left. I too am very thankful as I might not be here today..!

Today is Remembrance day and we again commemorate all the Canadian veterans including those that are currently serving in the Canadian Forces overseas and at home.
