If you scan a map of Saskatchewan, you will find there the names of the more than 3,800 men from across the province who lost their lives fighting in the Second World War. To honor their memories and their sacrifices, each has had a geographic feature named after them.

Of those 3,800 or so geographic features, Doug Chisholm estimates he's seen and photographed about 3,000.

Another Remembrance Day has come and gone without an agreement for compensation for First Nation war veterans, but Grand Chief Howard Anderson of the Saskatchewan First Nations War Veterans Association is optimistic an agreement will be reached soon.

An announcement about compensation for First Nations veterans was expected by Remembrance Day, but the delay doesn't concern Anderson.
