Just

as precious Neepawa Banner & Press in search of letters and photos for Remembrance Day

By Casper Wehrhahn Neepawa Banner & Press

Pictures are worth a thousand words, but those words are just as precious. That’s why, this year, the Neepawa Banner & Press would like to build this year’s Remembrance Day section on the theme “Letters to Home”. However, the assistance of those in our coverage area is needed.

If anyone has old letters from a family member, or family friend, who was enlisted overseas, or at home as an air trainer, etc., please bring them and any associated photos and background information to the Neepawa Banner & Press office at 423 Mountain Ave. Typed copies of letters and digital copies of photos can also be received via newsroom@ neepawapress.com.

We would love to share and honour these stories. The deadline for hardcopy or scanned letters is Sept. 8, to allow for us to re-type them digitally. As well, to reach out to you if assistance with interpretation is needed. The deadline for pre-typed copies and photographs (physical or digital) is Oct. 6.

Note: A confirmation email will be sent to you upon receipt of any emailed materials. If you do not receive a confirmation email within two business days, please contact me at the Banner & Press office via 204-476-3401.

If a submission is unable to be used due to space restrictions, they will be saved for future use.
