These recordings are a series of interviews conducted by students of Cobourg District Collegiate Institute West as part of the Cobourg and District Historical Society Archives project entitled Cobourg's Veterans, An Oral History. This project is intended to preserve the remembrances of local area veterans and for the benefit of future generations while furthering the education and appreciation for our history.
