home with my family last weekend so didn t have a chance to blog so here is a collection of material i ve gathered fort malden in amherstburg ontario had its military heritage days last weekend we

hands on interactive displays the core of the museum revolves around military vehicles and it is open on fridays saturdays and sundays from 1000 to 1600 hours the military collectors club of canada website recently came across my line of sight as a group dedicated to serving as the focal point for canadian collectors of all types of military artifacts from medals badges artwork to military arms vehicles and just about anything militaria related i ve personally found in the past that such groups are incredible fonts of knowledge whose members are very willing to answer questions the

whole of the great war the project managers are also appealing to anyone with information on the dead who are interred there to contact them one of the interesting benefits of this website is the inclusion of a search function which allows the visitor to search through information available on the men buried in this commonwealth war graves cemetery while much of the information can be gleaned
