The Field of Honour Project
The purpose of The Field of Honour Project is to photograph / record all naval related headstones in cemeteries in Canada. This will include any headstones for members of the Merchant Navy with wartime service and members of other navies who were buried in cemeteries in Canada.
This is not restricted to headstones in the "Fields of Honour" in Canadian cemeteries, but any naval related headstone in any part of any cemetery in Canada.
Due to the size of this project volunteers will be needed to to search the cemeteries and photograph headstones for this project.
