Southwest Arm Historical Society researcher Lester Green spent four years combing through naval records, historical newspaper and photos to document the stories of our boys, the boys of Southwest Arm.
87 of our boys enlisted and served under the Union Jack.
Seven lie buried on foreign soil or are lost forever to the sea.
This is a collection of stories recording those who enlisted, trained and deployed with the Royal Navy and Royal Canadian Navy.
Stories of deeds done, awards and medals given.
Stories of families who suffered turmoil but endured on the home front, waiting for the return of their loved ones.
