Bombs and Barbed Wire: Stories of Acadian Airmen and Prisoners of War, 1939-1945

Gooselane Publishing | Fredericton, NB

By Ronald Cormier. Little has been written about the Acadians who served in Canada’s armed forces during the Second World War. In fact, the prevailing notion suggested that Acadians refused to support the war effort. Bombs and Barbed Wire provides an alternative point of view, revealing the commitment and bravery displayed by the approximately 24,000 Acadians who voluntarily joined the war effort. Battling both language barriers and a culture of exclusion, they overcame frustrations and prejudice to fight for the freedom of the country they loved.
