Scholarly Article

Historian Steven Bright has spent a decade researching the little known story of Z-Force the Canadian Forces personnel stationed in Iceland during WWII. Steve has shared his research twice with the Club over the years, first as a speaker at our AGM and then most recently at Saga Connections. Now his research has been published in Canadian Military History journal. Click HERE to access the article.
