Mr. Hirahara and his 40-year-old wife Kazu Hirahara (Registration Number 02554) were both Japanese nationals and interned in Slocan City, British Columbia. The shipping label is addressed to “Ryuichi Hirahara” at an address in Wakayama City, Japan. Mr. Hirahara requested that his belongings be held for him at the Wakayama Train Station, since he could not be sure that his ancestral home had survived the war. He did know that train stations would be among the first buildings to be rebuilt, since trains were critical to rebuilding Japan’s infrastructure. The Hiraharas were deported to Japan in 1946.

Ferns of Toronto went missing on August 14, 1944, during a friendly-fire incident. His unit, the Royal Regiment of Canada, was bombed by Allied aircraft as soldiers were moving up to take part in Operation Tractable, south of Caen. Sixty years later, near Haut Mesnil, France, skeletal remains were discovered. The Department of National Defence’s Casualty Identification Program staff were able to positively identify Private Ferns. The medical documents in his service file, including this dental history sheet, were important sources of information. Ferns was buried with full military honours at Bretteville-sur-Laize Canadian War Cemetery in 2008, with his family in attendancehttps://thediscoverblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/capture3.pngCapture3Private Alexis Albert, serving with the North Shore (New Brunswick) Regiment, was killed in action in France on June 11, 1944.

The Director of War Service Records, Department of Veterans Affairs, provided this response, which helped to connect the grieving family in Canada with French citizens carefully maintaining the burial plot in Normandy.https://thediscoverblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/e011176110-v8.jpge011176110-v8Bény-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery, which includes the graves of 2,000 Canadian soldiers who died during the early phases of the Normandy Campaign (e011176110)https://thediscoverblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/e010750628-v8.jpge010750628-v8A British Centaur close-support howitzer tank assisting Canadians during the Normandy Campaign (e010750628)2022-10-25T13:51:58+00:00monthlyhttps://thediscoverblog.com/2019/11/08/mighty-indigenous-warriors-from-egypt-to-the-first-world-war/https://thediscoverblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/a001479.jpga001479Private Tom Longboat, the Onondaga long distance runner, buying a newspaper from a French boy, June 1917.

The offices are now in Winnipeg, Manitoba. [The New Canadian began publishing in 1939, in Vancouver. It was an English-language newspaper founded to be the voice of the Canadian-born Nisei (second-generation Japanese Canadians). After the attack on Pearl Harbor and the internment of some 20,000 Japanese Canadians, it resumed publishing in the Kaslo, B.C., internment camp. A Japanese-language section was added to better serve the Issei, or first-generation Japanese Canadians. In 1945, the paper moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and subsequently, in 1949, to Toronto, Ontario, where it continued publishing until 2001.] Credit: Jack Long (e999900358-u)https://thediscoverblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/e999900300-u.jpge999900300-uThe very modern kitchen of the Greenwood camp hospital.

The test relied on visual examination to determine the likelihood of discolouration by staining or residue deposit by the various surface consolidants.https://thediscoverblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/shrinktest.jpgshrinktestThe testing carried out was called Shrink Temperature Test, where small samples of leather removed from the books were heated in water until a reaction occurred. The lower the reaction temperature the less stable the leather. The tests concluded that some leathers were quite unstable and that they could be easily damaged by the application of consolidants containing water and solvents.https://thediscoverblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/deteriorated.jpgdeterioratedDeteriorated leather: The first step in the process was to assess the level of deterioration and carry out an initial surface cleaning of the books to remove as much leather dust as possible. This was carried out in the rare books vault, on all 500 books, using a gentle vacuum and small brush.2015-05-06T14:54:37+00:00monthlyhttps://thediscoverblog.com/2015/05/02/self-portraits-by-women-artists-in-library-and-archives-canadas-collection/https://thediscoverblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/e010771638-v6.jpge010771638-v6The Artist in her Museum, 2005. © Rosalie Favell (MIKAN 3930728)https://thediscoverblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/c013377k.jpgc013377kMrs. Ellice and Miss Balfour reflected in the looking glass of their cabin on board the H.M.S.
