My name is Harold (Hal) Aage Skaarup, CD3, BFA, MA in War Studies.

"Back in the day" as my generation likes to say, I served as a Canadian Army
Paratrooper and Military Intelligence Officer.  I have had the great good
fortune in having a military career that gave me a chance to see some
interesting parts of the world while on duty with NATO in Germany, with the UN
in Cyprus, with SFOR in Bosnia-Herzegovina, with NORAD in Colorado, with ISAF in
Afghanistan and of course here at home and across Canada.

During those 40 years with the Canadian Forces, I had the privilege of taking
part in history making events and having interesting experiences with incredibly
talented people from many different countries.  As a result, I believe that I
have a bit of insight into some of the military history that Canadian soldiers,
sailors, airmen and women have made in the past, are making in the present and
will make in the future, both here at home and overseas.  I have written and
researched a fair number of our military stories and recorded some of those
experiences. If you have similar interests, you will find a good deal of it
here, shared from my perspective.


When I retired from the Army in August 2011 at 5 Canadian Division Support Base
(5 CDSB) Gagetown, New Brunswick, I took an interest in the New Brunswick
Military History Museum (NBMHM) on base.  Now settled down at our home in
Fredericton, I became a volunteer researcher and tour guide at the museum.  I
also currently serve on the Board of Directors of the York Sunbury Historical
Society as their President, and oversee the activities taking place at the
Fredericton Region Museum (FRM), as well as the New Brunswick Aviation Museum in
the Miramichi.  Along the way, I was inducted into the group of RCAF Associate
Historians. In the process, I have met some wonderful people and heard many of
their stories, fielded questions from a myriad of visitors and continue to learn
something new about our history every day.  The aim, therefore, of these pages,
is to share some of these stories with you.  I have collected a fair amount of
data that will be of interest to military historians and like-minded
enthusiasts, but I am not the expert on all things military.  What I do have is
a wonderful collection of colleagues who do have some expertise in specific
military subjects, and if I can't find an answer to your question, I may know
someone I can refer you to, who can help.

The subject material is generally divided into Army, Navy and Air Force
sections, and if those are your interest, jump to the Search section of this
page.  I have a wide variety of general interests as well, and hope you find
something that will catch your attention.  Good hunting.
‍
For those of you with an interest in Canadian military aviation, I highly
recommend the well-researched data base provided by the staff and volunteers at
the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum (CWHM) who have compiled detailed loss
reports of RCAF and Canadian casualties in the RAF during the Second World War.
These records can be found by examining the specific aircraft of interest in the
Canadian Aircraft Serials Personnel Information Resource (CASPIR) files here.

aircraft, Military intelligence, First World War, World War One, Second World
War, World War Two, Tanks, Artillery pieces, Armoured Fighting Vehicles,
