WWI Forgotten Canadian Heroes - Lest We Forget

They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning. WE WILL REMEMBER THEM. In memory of my dear friend Edward (Ted) Slade R.C.N. 1933 - 2011. Also my Grandfathers. Alfred Arnold Chamberlaine R.S.M Kings Royal Rifles and Douglas Thomas Thrift, Royal Horse Artillery. Veterans of the Great War.

Lest We Forget

Lest We Forget

While researching material for my blog on Pioneer Cemeteries of Peel & York Regions, I could not help but notice the number of graves found in local cemeteries that are for veteran's who were part of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces. So I started doing some research, especially on the "old sweats" of WWI. This is a heritage that has now passed from memory into history and as a C.F. Service Veteran myself and the granddaughter of two WWI veterans and the daughter of a Korean veteran. I feel it is important to show that these names on these monuments were also people. In addition the role played by Canadian Troops during this time in history.
