    Nancy and I were sorry to learn of Edison’s passing. He was justifiably proud of his wartime service with the “West Novas” and the “Loyal Eddies”. Both witnessed hard fighting in Sicily, Italy and Northwest Europe and Edison was in the thick of it. As Honorary Colonel of the West Nova Scotia Regiment, I particularly wish to honour this soldier volunteer. “In the evening and at the going down of the sun, we will remember them”.
