A community in France has named a street after Second World War veteran Peter J. Barlow, a former chief of the Mi’kmaw community of L’nui Menikuk (Indian Island) in eastern New Brunswick.
The Normandy town of Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer unveiled Chief Peter Barlow Lane earlier this month, in honour of his service with the North Shore (New Brunswick) Regiment, which was one of the first Canadian units to land on Juno Beach on D-Day.
Loretta Perley said her father, who died in 2000, “would be tickled” about the honour.
