I'm wondering about when these war brides came, and we will call them that. Everywhere else in Canada we would have called them that. I'm assuming that the same term that applies to those in Canada applies to those who came to Newfoundland pre-1947.
There's that period of time between 1947 and 1949 when Newfoundland wasn't a province yet. Would they all have become citizens of Canada automatically when Newfoundland became a province in 1949?
