ICELANDIC CONNECTION

Our town had an airbase. At this time
we also had some families from England
or at least women with their children that
were sent here. Many of them were put
up in cottages that were not winterized.
I often wonder what ever became of
those English classmates and what their
memories of Manitoba were.
This magazine had its beginnings
during the war years, featuring heavily on
short biographies of the soldiers and their
rank. Many of the older issues are sought
after by families who are searching for
information on their relatives or friends.
It is my hope that you enjoy reading
the articles, that you glean some new
information and that it triggers some
memories for you.
