William “Bill” Wilson, one of Canada’s last surviving Second World War veterans, dies at 101, according to obituaries reported by Canadian outlets. Sources say Wilson took part in the D-Day landings during the Second World War. After his military service, he is described as playing a role in building public remembrance of Canada’s armed forces. One report credits Wilson—also referred to as “Captain Bill”—with helping create the Naval Museum of Alberta and The Military Museums in Calgary. The Winnipeg Free Press and Global News both identify Wilson as a World War II veteran and highlight his later involvement in Canadian museum efforts. The coverage is largely obituary-focused and presents his wartime participation and subsequent contributions to military heritage as central elements of his legacy.
