Subject: [ONTARIO-L] military memorabilia

Hi List,
Before all the thoughts about this day disappear, I have a question, or rather
interest.
I understand my late brother Harold Townsend, who lived at Shelburne ON had a
large collection of military memorabilia. I was informed his wife & son held
an auction of it all shortly after his death in 1992.
Is there anyone out there who may have seen this collection, or knows of its
contents?
I believe most of the collection was from W.W.II, although he once mentioned
acquiring a sword mounted on wooden shield which was supposedly from our
family castle in Ireland.
All I know is what my brother mentioned during occasional phone
conversations. I never had opportunity to see the collection, nor do I have
any contacts to tell me about it. It would be nice to have some information
on this to add to notes in my genealogy records.
