It also tells the inspiring story of how the citizens of Nelson of all ages, with help from surrounding communities, marshalled all their resources and devoted their civic life for six long years to help make victory possible. Their efforts prompted some to call Nelson “The Most Patriotic Town in B.C.” And, Nelson’s story highlights an important chapter of Canadian history—the invaluable contribution to the Allied war effort made by countless small Canadian communities across the country." This local history contains lists of the men who served, the casualties, the units they served in and ships they served on as well as an extensive bibliography. Good+ .
