This is the type of information we are looking to gather. Names will be assembled in alphabetical order on this page, and each name will have its own, separate web page with the information you provide. You click on the name on this page, and it takes you to the individual’s web page.
+ Last Name, First Names
+ Date and Place of Birth / Date and Place of Death
+ Country of Service (Name of regiment, regimental number if available)
+ Dates and Locations of Military Service
+ Name of Cemetery where buried
+ Your stories, anecdotes, electronic images of your photographs, memorabilia, etc.
+ Your name(s). This will serve as a place to potentially make connections with other local citizens who you didn’t previously know, but now may choose to connect with to share experiences, and thus bring our community closer together with shared bonds of friendship. We may, at one time in history, have been “enemies”, but now we are “neighbours”!
+ Additional information: links to other sources on the internet, etc. For example, if you have checked out any pages about veterans on this site, you’ll notice that there are many clickable links that take you to back ground information on that word or phrase (Ypres, 1st Canadian Division, Arras, chlorine gas, etc.) We are trying to make this site as complete an educational experience as possible. The information here, will be used by visitors to the Strathroy cenotaph, so that when they are there on site they can use their electronic devices to research – in real time – what they are looking at, and will be stimulated to consider what it was like to live and experience war time. Some of it was glorified, some of it was terrible, all of it is worth thinking about. All those who served and lived through it are to be honoured for their contributions – regardless of which country they may have originated from.
