On this day in Canadian military history the Dieppe Raid occurred, 1942.
On this 81st anniversary we remember all the brave acts of courage and those who gave their life for their country.
Of the over 3,100 Canadian women who served as nursing sisters during the First World War, sixty-one made the ultimate sacrifice.
Bluebirds at War tells each of their stories, based on meticulous research that has uncovered a forgotten piece of Canadian history.
By examining the individual story of each of these sixty-one women, we gain insights into what motivated them to serve, the conditions that they endured, the tremendous value that their service provided, and ultimately their final moments.
Bluebirds at War breathes new life into these forgotten heroes, capturing their stories with grace and honesty.
This book stands as a tribute to these women, their lives and their contributions, so that future generations will remember their stories and their sacrifice.
