The Canadian Military Heritage Project Needs Your Help!

The Canadian Military Heritage Project is dedicated to preserving our Canadian Military Heritage.

I created The Canadian Military Heritage Project on March 28, 1998. I maintain it alone. I have no staff, I'm not a Library, and I don't have a permanent body of volunteers. I'm not retired, and, like many people these days, I hold down two jobs to make ends meet. The continuing existence of this site is only possible with the generous help of you, the reseacher!
