Bruce County Museum and Cultural Centre welcomes historian and author Ted Barris to mark Remembrance Day on Nov. 8.
Ted Barris will explore the significant contributions of Canadian airmen during the Battle of Britain in the Second World War, highlighting the 85th anniversary of this pivotal campaign.
He will discuss the extraordinary bravery of Canadian flyers who helped defend England during 113 harrowing days in 1940, including twenty pilots lost in action and twelve receiving the Distinguished Flying Cross for their courage.
Canadians – some from well-known families, others fresh from the farm – served in forty-seven squadrons.
