in the trenches as were many
of his Port Hood kinsmen and
he and many others continued
to maintain their "Highland

   This exhibit portrays the
small coastal community of
Port Hood in the years

leading up to the Great War---
its citizens, its
institutions, events and
activities and the
relationship these men had
with their Scottish roots.
