Join local historian Carla-Jean Stokes for the Canadian Second World War Photography presentation Saturday August 25th from 1:30pm to 2:30pm at the Greater Vernon Museum & Archives. Learn how war photography had progressed since the First World War and hear stories and images from Italy, the Dieppe Raid, the Normandy Invasion and the troops’ movement inland to secure victory in 1945. This talk will also introduce early female photojournalists and the widespread nature of Second World War photographs, even in the unlikeliest of publications. Pre-registration is required as space is limited. Cost is $5.00/person at the door.
