About this title

Synopsis

In World War II, some 91,000 Saskatchewan men nearly 10% of the total provincial population joined various branches of the armed forces. Of these, more than 3,800 never returned. Following the end of the war, the government of Saskatchewan designated geographic features, such as lakes, islands, and bays, as a permanent testimonial to those who had made the supreme sacrifice.

Since 1997, pilot and photographer Doug Chisholm has undertaken the task of photographing from the air the thousands of sites named for these fallen young men. A selection of his photographs is presented in this volume, together with stories by Gerald Hill based on interviews conducted with friends and family members who remember the lives of these men. Also included in this volume is a comprehensive list of Saskatchewan?s fallen and the sites named in honour of them.
