A Life and Service Remembered

Some Veterans are easy to trace through public records, while others are not. That doesn’t make the service smaller, it just means the documentation isn’t readily available online.

Earl R. Ball is honored in St. Marys through Branch 236’s Veteran Banner Program. This page is part of Branch 236’s 100th anniversary effort to keep each Veteran’s name present in the community and to build an online memorial that treats every name as worth the work of remembering.

At this time, we have not located a public service summary for Earl R. Ball that confirms unit, service number, or specific dates of service. Korean War era Canadian Army records are often not publicly available online and may require access through official channels or family-held documents. Until those details are confirmed, we are preserving his name here, and continuing the search so his story can be completed accurately.

If you are a family member, friend, or someone who served with him, even one photo, a service number, unit name, or a confirmed detail helps turn a name into a life.
