My friend Doug has put together a great book
called Their Names Live On
detailing his work in preserving records of the features in northern
Saskatchewan named for servicemen who died during World War II. Check it out!
An excellent site containing all sorts of great Saskatchewan material - including a number of articles by a fellow named Bill Barry! Check out the story of Alfred Lord Tennyson's nephew by clicking here. You'll find several others listed on this page in the Virtual Saskatchewan archives. Jon was a big help to me with the Doukhobor section of my book Ukrainian People Places, and with the Doukhobor Villages section of Geographic Names of Saskatchewan. He runs a fantastic website on his fascinating forbears.
LtCol André Levesque is working with the folks at DND to create a website that lists all war memorials in Canada (more than 5,000 so far). This link will take you to the Saskatchewan search page where you can click on a community name and find out about its war memorials - usually with pictures. There's a wealth of information here.
The Johns are a storied regiment and you'll find much to enjoy on Kevin Lambie's site. Kevin and his fellow regimental historians were a big help to me in the preparation of Age Shall Not Weary Them.
This is where most of my research has been done - check out the Prairie History Room.
