At the Going Down of The Sun

At the Going Down of the Sun: The Fallen of Aylmer and Malahide, 1939 to 1945
Written by James L. McCallum
Edited by the Aylmer-Malahide Museum & Archives

At the Going Down of the Sun aims to honour and biograph the soldiers of Aylmer and Malahide who lost their lives during WWII. It pays tribute to those listed on the Aylmer Cenotaph, those whose casualties were reported in the Aylmer Express, and those who died at the No. 14 Service Flying Training School in Aylmer.

This book was researched and written by James L. McCallum, who graciously gave his work to the Aylmer-Malahide Museum & Archives to profit from its publication.

James L. McCallum is a genealogist and historian with extensive family ties to Malahide Township.
