In honour of the Legion’s Centenary Year, our Branch has built an Online Memorial for those veterans commemorated within our community, including:
- Individuals listed on the cenotaph and local war plaques throughout St. Marys and Rannoch
- Those commemorated on banners purchased by families
There are over 355 Veterans honored in our community, the stories of their service and life are below.
How we built it
To begin this project, we used publicly available information from historical records, service records, newspaper archives, memorial databases, and other reputable online sources to create a basic biography for each person.
Our goal is to ensure every name is recognized with care, accuracy, and respect.
Some pages are complete, while others are still being researched or are being held while we wait for more information or family confirmation.
We need your help to make it personal
If you’re a family member, friend, or someone who knew the person, we would love to include a more personal touch, such as:
- A short story, memory, or message
- A photo (if you’re comfortable sharing one)
- A correction or missing detail (dates, spelling, service info)
- Any context you feel should be remembered
- If the person is still living: what they would like their entry to say
Even a few sentences can make an entry feel human and real, and help turn a name into living history.
If you see the entery is filled out feel free to check it and confirm the information is correct.
