Korean War

The Second World War had a profound effect on Canada. From every corner of the nation, men and women performed full-time duty in military service. During the war, 1,086,343 Canadians enlisted. The death toll by war's end reached 42,042. In Bruce County, recruitment for service differed from that of the First World War. Since the 160th Bruce Battalion had been disbanded in 1936 and reorganized as artillery, Bruce County men and women had the choice of joining one of four Bruce Field Batteries. Substantial numbers of Bruce County residents took the opportunity to enlist outside the County in the Army, Navy or Air Force, many joining area regiments such as the Perth Regiment and the Elgin Regiment.
