Homefront And Battlefront: Nelson, Bc in World War 2

Homefront & Battlefront: Nelson BC in World War II by Sylvia Crooks chronicles the lives and deaths of courageous Canadians. 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.
