Books, Maps & Other Resources Halton County, Ontario Genealogy & History More Canadian Resources | More Ontario Resources More Halton County Resources BOOK - Milton Remebers World War II. 1939-45. By; Ken Lamb.
This book is a joint effort of the Milton Historical Society and the Private Joe Waters Branch 136 of the Royal Canadian Legion. Those at the Historical Society began the venture as an archival project to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the Second World war. They planned to interview veterans and others about their wartime memories and to retain the tapes and transcripts for future generations. They felt that his would give a local perspective to recognized war texts. But more than that they prayed that the people we wrote about would turn out to be the last generation to fight a global war. It soon became clear that their work completmented the efforts carried out over many years by Legion Branch 136 in compiling service records of people in and around Milton. These identify more than 500 men and women who joined the services from the extended Milton area. More than 30 were killed.
