Nova Scotia/Nunavut Command of The Royal Canadian Legion www.ns.legion.ca 7 Project Chairman’s Message As Project Chairman, and on behalf of the entire membership of Nova Scotia / Nunavut Command of The Royal Canadian Legion, it is an honour to present the 2018 edition, our 14th book, in our Veteran Service Recognition Book (VSRB) series. All of these books are produced in an effort to honour, acknowledge and remember the contributions made by so many brave Canadians. As always, I offer my sincere thanks to the many Legion branches and members of the general public who continue to support these publications by contributing biographies and photos. I would also like to thank the many businesses, groups and individuals who generously support these publications through advertising and through personal financial donations. In my Project Chairman’s message from 2017, I intimated that I would be ending my 15 year run as Editor of these publications. My time on NS/NU Command Executive Council will be ending in May 2019, and although this project would definitely continue, it would be under someone else’s direction. Surprise – “I’m Back!”, as Arnold would say. I have been asked by our current Command President, Comrade Mel Crowe, to continue as Project Chairman, and I would like to thank him for that honour. In this edition of our VSRB we feature the deeds and exploits of our WWI Veterans, in recognition of the 100th anniversary of the 11 November 1918 Armistice, which ended the Great War – the war to end all wars! In closing, Nova Scotia / Nunavut Command extends its sincere thanks to our partners, Fenety Marketing Services, for their continued support of The R.C.L. through the production of these books and together, we look forward to issuing the 15th edition of the VSRB in the fall of 2019. In Comradeship, Steve Wessel Project Chairman / Editor
