My father-in-law, the late Dr. Harvey F. Sutherland, from Sydney, Cape Breton, served in the Canadian Armed Forces as a physician during WWII. His family is seeking access to public records to confirm where and how he served as a medical professional. Can the association assist us?

Unfortunately WWII personnel records have not been release for public access by Library and Archives Canada. That said, it wouldn’t hurt to contact Library and Archives Canada with a personal request
