REMEMBERING THE CITIZEN SOLDIERS OF PORT DALHOUSIE
The cenotaph, or war memorial located on a grassy median on Ann Street in the historic port town of Port Dalhousie, contains 20 names of those who fought and died in the First World War.
These individuals were either born, worked or lived in Port Dalhousie, before enlisting and fighting for their country. The names of many are recognizable historically from the local area, and are from families who still reside in the town.
What follows is a record of information that has been collected from a variety of locations and hopefully presented in a concise organized format.
The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, is the occasion that we set aside to remember the fallen soldiers. But here is a clip and song, by a Canadian so we can remember each and every day - "Remembrance Day"
