WWII Journal

[Michaelwwii]

My father who passed away in July 2008 was a North Nova Scotia Highlander.  He was also president of the Ontario chapter of the North Novie Memory Club.  He came into possession, somehow, of a journal kept by William Henry Smith (also a North Novie - "A Company") which diarizes William's time overseas in the army from leaving Halifax on the Orion in June 1941 to to post D-Day in 1944. 

I have transcribed the journal together with some scans of objects/photos which I found in the journal into a blog at http://michaelwwii.wordpress.com/.  I'm sure you'd find it a moving and fascinating read and if you can shed any further light on William, I would be to grateful to know.

My uncle was in the North Novas at the same time so this really struck home. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
