Author’s note:
Thank you to all the people who visit my site and write to me. I really appreciate your stories of relatives who served, along with the additions and corrections that you provide me with to correct and update my base histories.
However, please keep in mind that my knowledge is primalarily confined to the bases to which our service membes served, along with a few specialty articles on certain notable people in Canadian military history. I do not have information on individuals, their service records or units that they served with during the war years or post-war years. You might want to contact the Naitonal Archives or if their unit, squadron or regiment still exists, you might want to contact them too.
Regarding bases/stations that are not featured, it is due to either I haven’t had time to add them to the web site or, if it was a small military establishment, perhaps I have never heard of it. Please feel free to provide me with information.
Thank you very much to all my readers.
Additionally, I was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal
in 2012 for various volunteer activities, including this web site. I
wish to thank those who nominated me for the medal, as well as everyone
who visits my web site, especially those who make corrections to my
material and otherwise provide valuable information to help maintain the
accuracy of this web site. The ultimate goal of this web site has
always been to provide a comprehensive resource for future researchers
and historians. The histories of the former Canadian military bases
featured on my web site are, for the most part, pretty basic and are
meant only to provide a starting point for anyone who wishes to write a
more detailed history of specific Canadian military bases.
