WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT CANADIANS WHO SERVED IN WORLD WAR ONE?

As ceremonies are occurring world wide to remember World War One as it is the 100th anniversary of the start of that war, what do you know about the contribution of our Canadians?  In which battles did they play a major role? Do you have family members who served? Our grandfather Ernest Adolphus Ellis served in the war. He even received medals from his role at Vimy Ridge, France. It is time to teach our children about our Canadians and others who served in that war. Not to celebrate but to honour. To reflect on lives lost and what an ultimate sacrifice really means.

I wrote a post of Ernie's contribution at Vimy and my cousin Roy wrote extra notes in the comments. April 2011 is the month in my blog to find it.

One battalion from the Toronto area. Why not visit a cenotaph and obtain a name? Find out about the local person who died. Honour the memory! Let us remember their sacrifice so we work towards peace and ending our modern conflicts! No peace in any nation came without sacrifice. So as more news will reflect on the anniversary of the war, make it a time for history to be part of your agenda!
Lest we Forget!
