The @CBFFCCB is replacing the 31st Cdn Minesweeper Flotilla plaque at WN 62 at Omaha Beach. Their records don't have the dimensions of the plaque. Would any Normandy guides, recent visitors have this info, or could get it without too much difficulty? Thx

The Canadian Battlefields Foundation extends sincere sympathy to Tim Cook's family and colleagues at the @CdnWarMuseum on his tragic death. His many books leave a legacy of learning about Canadian military history that will last forever. We will remember him.
Sad news for CBNF Alims from 1995 to 2000. Mme Mireille Fesnien, partner of Jean and caretaker at the Abbaye d'Ardenne until 2000, died suddenly this week in Normandy. Mireille and her family welcomed students into their home...
We are counting down the days until applications close for this year's CBF Student Tour. There is still time to get your submission in!
We honour his service and the sacrifice of the thousands who did not return. RIP Mr. Middleton.
The man believed to be Canada's oldest living Second World War veteran has died just shy of 110 years old.
Albert Middleton was born March 11, 1915, in London, England, and died at the Broadmead Care's Veterans Memorial Lodge in Saanich, on B.C.'s Vancouver Island on Feb. 12. Albert came to Canada when he was a teenager.
Middleton volunteered for the Royal Canadian Air Force. He served in Europe from 1943 to 1946, years spent "dodging all the bullets," he said.
News of his death was shared over the weekend with the announcement of a celebration of life to be held at the lodge on what would have been Middleton's 110th birthday.
We Will Remember Him
