Eric Brunt has been capturing the stories of Second World War veterans before they’re lost. Now his collection will become part of a new digital project at the Canadian War Museum to be launched in late 2024
Victoria-raised filmmaker Eric Brunt wants to preserve the legacy of as many Second World War veterans as he can, a task that he considers “a huge honour.”
With no record of his grandfather’s war experience, Eric Brunt began thinking about other veterans’ stories that hadn’t been told. “That’s kind of what set the whole ball in motion.” He said the remaining veterans “can often be found tucked away on the periphery of society they helped save, living quietly away from the limelight — and largely forgotten.”
Brunt said edited versions of the interviews will go on the museum’s webpage, and it will store the interviews in its archive so people can access the unedited versions for future research.
