Hellooo Friends & Neighbours !!
Hi,,, if you like basic military souvenirs,, stories, medals, and local historic information,
then check out The Little Museum in Cascapedia / New Richmond , Quebec.
Collections from the Boeur War, WW-1,, WW-2, specializing in Hong Kong,,, and Korea.
Almost every family in the Gaspe & Northern New Brunswick area was affected, when
The North Shore Rifels & Winnipeg Grenadires were shipped to Hong Kong in 1941,
Most died there, and the others were prisoners of war for 4.5 years,, the Japs were not
Nice to their prisoners,,, and many starved to death !
The Little Oak Bay United Church , in Oak Bay, Qc. Aboout 100 years old.. It as located about 400 ft from my Old Family homestead... About 15 years ago ,, the Legion members in
The New Richmond area, And The Hong Kong Veterans organization,, bought the church,, took
the roof off,,cutting It in two,,, loaded it on two floats,, and moved it 45 miles to
Cascapedia / New Richmond, located it on a new basement, redoing a lot of the wood, and
Then painting it.
It's located in a collection of Old Antique Buildings from the area,, that is called BRITVILLE.
It's a great area to visit on Vacation !! Cheers !!
Thanks John G
