Description
This exhibit curated by and housed at the Mackenzie House Museum, tells the stories of the 3,327 Eaton's Department Store employees who enlisted for military service during the First World War. Through a multi-platform research project, the exhibit curators conducted over 30 interviews with relatives of these employees, archival research, and uncovered new sources including personal stories, photographs, and family artifacts.
