The Vancouver Island Military Museum, located in Nanaimo, British Columbia, and dedicated to remembrance, during both conflict and peace, presents “For Services Rendered.”
The photos and stories gathered for this project are largely the result of interviews conducted over the course of several months in 2003. Veterans and their families generously provided access to their photographs, documents and memories, resulting in a montage of personal stories of Canadian military service.
We would like to thank Mr. Ronald Buxton, Mr. Robert Cato, Mrs. Marjorie Leffler, Mrs. C. Eswyn Lyster, Mr. Sheridan (Pat) Patterson, the families of Joseph Stewart Temple Fall (Mike Fall) and of Angus Bell-Irving (Norah Johnston), and Craig Heritage Park for the photos of Charles Robert Reeves Hickey. The Raymond Collishaw photographs are from a collection compiled by the Vancouver Island Military Museum under the direction of its president, Mr. Ted Brothers.
George Woodcock once stated that “Canadians do not like heroes, and so they do not have them.” Yet, at a time when they live among us, how can we deny their existence?
