If you're a history buff, or even just a bit curious about the history of Timmins and area, TimminsToday has something we hope you're going to enjoy.
We are happy to announce that every Sunday we will be bringing you a snapshot of our past, courtesy the Timmins Museum.
In honour of Remembrance Day, we thought we would start off with a photo of some of the brave Timmins area soldiers who fought in the First World War.
The Timmins Museum provides the caption below.

More than 625 young men from the Porcupine participated in World War One between December 1914 and November 1918.
