John Archibald Britten (Primary Source)

In 2010, The Memory Project interviewed John Archibald Britten, a veteran of the Second World War. The following recording (and transcript) is an excerpt from this interview. Born on 25 March 1917, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Britten enlisted in 1939 as a private in the Royal Canadian Engineers. Britten served until 1945 and participated in campaigns in Sicily and Italy. In this testimony, Britten describes landing in Italy alongside the Americans, and their subsequent pursuit of the Germans. He also describes how he was shot at by a sniper in Ortona, a coastal Italian town, as well as the horrifying injuries inflicted by German anti-personnel mines. As a military engineer, Britten was responsible for locating and deactivating the mines. Britten died in Halifax on 30 October 2012.
