Communities, Culture and Heritage Minister Tony Ince says theletters were links to some of the many who did not return home fromwar.

He says it's fitting that the exhibit is available before peoplegather to pay tribute to veterans on Remembrance Day.

The exhibit includes letters from George Allen Fraser fromHalifax, L. Howard Johnstone from Cape Breton and Daniel Morrisonfrom Blues Mills.

Fraser and Morrison returned from the war, while Johnstone diedin battle.
