VETERANS Military tradition in Prince Edward Island is primarily concerned with World War I, II and the Korean War. The Militia Act of 1833 was the start of the Militia in Prince Edward Island . At the outbreak of World War I, Canada as part of the British Empire sided with Britain in the conflict with Germany. Throughout the War there were victory bond drivers, and many people packed boxes of food and clothing for the service men in Europe. The armistice came on November 11,1918. World War II, 1939-45, many people in Prince Edward Island made sacrifices in the interest of the war effort. Again these people collected items for the war effort. Rationing was imposed by the Federal Government to ensure that adequate supplies were available. Restrictions were placed on butter, meat, tea, and sugar. The government issued each family with coupons, tokens, and ration books. Gasoline, antifreeze, rubber tires, and tubes were in short supply and travel was curtailed between 1942 and end of the war. Cars were not manufactured during this time. OUR SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN VETERANS 1914-1918 Sgt. Murdock Gillis Army Pte. Lome Ings Army Sgt. Walter McDonald Army Gunner Sinclair McDonald Army Sgt.
