This site is dedicated to the more than 1,000,000
Canadian men and women that served in
the Canadian Armed Forces during WW2, and to
the 42,042 the made the ultimate sacrifice.
This site is currently on hiatus.
The primary reason for this is a lack
information to continue research.
This is partly my fault, as I jumped
into the task far too quickly,
and didn't realize the amount of work
that it was going to take. I am
currently stockpiling reference materials,
and hope to get going again soon.
I am also planning on revamping the
site, and moving it to a new server.
If there is anybody who is willing to
contribute to the site in any manner,
take over some of the research
duties, or if perhaps somebody
is interested in a longer term partnership
of some sort, then please
email me at martins@smartt.com
