'Nobody's Hero'
- The John Kinney Story


While spending time in the museum, Nanton playwright, Larry MacKillop, was inspired to write this play about his uncle, John Kinney, a Nanton-born farm boy who became an RCAF navigator and was shot down in a 10 Squadron Halifax. His pilot was Alan Whitmarsh. The sole-survivor, John suffered two broken and frozen feet and a broken back, was abused by a Nazi, and spent twenty-two months in Prisoner of War and Canadian hospitals. Following the war he attended university and raised a family, but sadly, died early of his wartime injuries.
