Item · 1941-1946
Item consists of material collected by Janet Matheson during her stay in Halifax during WWII when she appears to have volunteered with RCAF Women's Division. Photographs are of Halifax, air force bases at Stanley, NS and trips to Sydney, Bridgewater, Liverpool, PEI, and perhaps Saskatchewan, some with frieds "Betty and Marg". Some show the ship "Huron" and the participants in the No. 12 Service Police Course at Trenton Air Station, 1941. The one labelled Corporal Ken Matheson was a joke as Janet's brother would have been 14 or 15 at the time, probably wearing a friend's uniform. Postcards are not written on and mainly depict Windsor and Kentville, with two of the SS Prince Edward Island ice breaker, one of an airman beside an airplane and a 1946 postcard of the RMS Queen Elizabeth entering Halifax Harbour. One postcard of the Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan train station was written to Ken Matheson (Janet's brother) in Halifax in 1944. An undated newsclipping is a photo of the members of the Eastern Air Command RCAF Women's Division at their farewell banquet at the Nova Scotian Hotel, with a caption naming everyone; neither Mathesons nor Noseworthy are listed.
