History
Donald Dove was a military photographer based in Kingston, Ontario during the Second World War. Donald was born on 9 September 1917 in Spears, SK to Spencer and Dorothy Dove (née Cox). He attended school until the age of 9 when farmwork pulled him away from further education. He would later train to become a certified draftsman and gain employment with the Canadian military as a draftsman and photographer in Kingston, Ontario. At the end of the war, he moved to Vancouver, where he worked in capentry, printmaking, and photography.
Dove married his first wife in the late 1930s and had three sons: Daniel, Arthur, and Leroy. He divorced in the early 1950s, and married Lydia in 1959. Donald and Lydia had four children: Dorothy, Stephen, Peter, and David. Donald Dove passed away in Abbotsford, BC on 11 June 2011.
