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.
G. Russell 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.
We have found a G. Russell Balls service details and local connect and suspect that this is in fact G. Russell Ball however at this time, we have not had a family member confirm the details and provided photographs are not conclusive. so at this time we will keep the records separate until we are able to positively confirms unit, service number, or specific dates of service. Many 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.
