Notice biographique

The European Campaign of the Second World War ended on 8 May 1945 or VE (Victory Europe) Day and to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of that event, the City of Edmonton held a week of Remembrance May 4-8, 1995. The Edmonton Remembers week was officially announced by Mayor Jan Reimer on 24 Mar 1995. The events included: displays by the Canadian military and the Dutch Canadian Community, a military parade, a mess- style dance hosted by Tommy Banks and the Zen Magus Orchestra at the Edmonton Aviation Museum hangar, an official march past and services at the Sir Winston Churchill Square among other community events. The Edmonton Journal newspaper ran a series of personal Second World War stories throughout April and May. Residents were invited to donate historically valuable to the celebration.

Historique de la conservation

The donors were Edmonton citizens who had family members that had served or had first hand experiences in the Second World War.
