THIS IS WHY WE REMEMBER

Harold Radford, the last known surviving Nova Scotian veteran of the First World War died yesterday at the age of 106. There are reportedly fewer than a dozen First War veterans still alive.

As the war veterans pass away and the wars themselves recede into the realm of history it is even more important that we remember these events. When there are no remaining living memories it is our collective responsibility to rember both the struggle for freedom and the incredible tradgedy that the wars of the 20th century were.
