Air-Force.ca Donations

First off, thanks for visiting this page, as it means you find Air-Force.cavaluable enough to consider donating. That must mean we're doing something right now and then.

Even if you don't have the means or inclination to donate, I appreciate you considering it.

As you know, Air-Force.ca has provided a free service to those looking for information on Canada's military since 1993. Our goal is to continue to provide this service, and do so without introducing user fees or other indignities. In-site advertising and our generous Subscribers have helped cover off many of the operating expenses to date. The unfortunate reality though, is that running a site - even a "free" one - is very costly especially as readership, bandwidth usage and service costs rise. I have spent a fair amount of money over the years keeping the site alive, which I'm glad to do. At times though, expenses have increased beyond the point that I can reasonably afford. Donations and support from site users help cover off some of the costs associated with this site.

If you'd like to make a donation, just hit the Claymore below to begin. (Non-PayPal users should see the note at the bottom of this page.) Even a $5 donation helps - thanks!

Where your money goes

The funds raised by these donations are all put back into the operation and development of this site. Some examples of this follow:

Hardware upgrades, such as extra disk space, more memory or faster CPUs
Network access and hosting (DSL connections, domain name renewal, DNS hosting, etc.)
Software, such as that used for the forums, chat room, etc.
Custom development work to help improve the site usability and features.

THANKS! Your support does make a difference! While I gladly give my time to building and maintaining the site, your donations will allow us to grow to meet our rising demand.

Other ways to help out...

We recognize that not everyone who wants to help out is a fan of PayPal, so there are a variety of other options available as well:

E-mail transfer to Milnet [at] Milnet.ca
Personal Cheque, made out to Crypto Logic Canada Inc., PO Box 144, Port Williams NS, B0P 1T0
Money Order cashable in Canada

You can also help out by subscribing to Air-Force.ca , which nets you a battle badge, shirt and many in-site features. Lastly, if you know of any potential advertisers, please let them know that our rates are exceptionally low and we run through almost 5 million unused ad impressions each month - that's lots of room to accommodate prospective advertisers!

Once again, thanks to everyone who has helped make Air-Force.ca a valuable resource. Your time, knowledge and financial help are greatly appreciated!

1866:

Sherbrooke Hussars: In Hoc Signo Vinces

1917:

Three successive attacks on a German strongpoint by a company of the British Columbia Regiment failed, with heavy casualties, including all the officers. Company Sergeant-Major Hanna gathered the survivors and organised a successful fourth assault, leading the way through the barbed wire and machine-gun fire. He received the Victoria Cross.

1918:

Lieutenant Honey, the only surviving officer, took command of a company of the Manitoba Regiment and led it in a series of successful attacks at Bourlon Wood in France. He twice went ahead alone to eliminate troublesome machine-gun nests, and finally fell mortally wounded. Elsewhere on the front, Lance-Corporal Lewis, Northamptonshire Regiment, who had previously distinguished himself in the destruction of a machine-gun post, also fell mortally wounded leading from the front in an attack on another formidable German position. Both Honey and Lewis were awarded a posthumous Victoria Cros.
