At the Going Down of the Sun and in the Morning

August 20, 2005 - This North Nova Scotia Highlanders Military mural has been made possible by donations from members, friends and supporters of the Regiment and a generous financial gift from Mr. Fred Muise, a North Nova in World War II of Maccan. Mr. Muise's donation is made in memory of and in grateful appreciation of his father, Private George Muise MM, who served overseas in World War I with the 85 Battalion and was awarded the Military Medal for bravery.
