The Winnipeg Tribune………….and the Faces of World War One
https://www.facebook.com/groups/698658293632613/To commemorate the 100th anniversary of World War 1, Operation: Picture Me is pleased to share a year long research project highlighting the contribution of over 5,000 Winnipegers/ Manitobans who went to war, including almost 1000 who failed to return home.
The Tribune newspaper clippings showcase Canadians at their best and sometimes at their worst. A major portion of the clippings are about the men, women and sometimes the children of Winnipeg who helped in the war effort.
We are humbled by the dedication of the Tribune staff who chronicled the personal stories of Winnipeg at War.
On October 19th 2016, over 5000 clippings have been uploaded to Facebook, under the group name Operation Picture Me. The clippings have been put in albums corresponding to the month and year of publication (except 1914). To help find a family member, an index has been created.
We hope the students of Winnipeg will use this resource to learn about the former students listed on their school’s Roll of Honour.
