Last year's photos weren't good enough for transcription, but I finally visited again this week and can now transcribe the names here.
This memorial commemorates the service of all who served, with a cross or star next to the names of the men who were killed. I also just noticed that there are names on the WWI plaque with U.S. next to them. My mother thinks perhaps those men came to Canada to fight between 1914 and 1917 before the strongly isolationist United States entered the conflict. I think she's probably right, but I will have to contact a local veteran's group and or the historical society to see if they have a definitive answer. Also, to see if they have the full names of the men who served in WWII and Korea; they are listed on the monument with only first initials.

Interesting read. I like the idea of naming all those who served. It is very common for US citizens to join the Canadians and fight in both the First and Second World War. I even have the reverse in my area as well. I will add my names from the cenotaph to the site you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteHello - i am the great nephew (my grannie's brother) of John Ramsdell - several generations of local farms and town businesses. Many Americans spent summer in N Hatley - some may have served in the Canadian forces but some may have joined the US military. As an aside - my Ramsdell family came to Canada in the mid 1850-60s from neighbouring US states. N Hately has a strong and long time association with the USA following the civil war (check out the architecture and the American club)
