The PEI Command of The Royal Canadian Legion, its members, staff and Ladies Auxiliary, wish to extend our thanks to all who provided assistance in making this book a huge success. The individuals who were so kind to forward pictures of the Veterans with brief biographies; our thanks go out to all of you. Let us remember all who did not return and those that have served and are suffering from the effects of conflict whether physical or mental.
