Description
Robert Nield will continue sharing some of the findings of his research into the names on the Penticton Cenotaph. He will describe how Penticton reacted to the demands of the war, especially as the first local casualties became known. Robert’s talk will also include brief biographies of some of the names listed on the Cenotaph.
Robert and his wife moved to Penticton from Hong Kong six years ago and he has since been active not only in the research he will be talking about, but also as a director of the SS Sicamous Marine Heritage Society. He is a retired professional accountant, holds an MPhil degree in history, and has published six books as well as many articles in academic journals.
