Milton WWI

Home Up

This is the story of one small Ontario town - Milton and area - during World War I.

It's the story of more than 80 fromm the area who were killed in service, more than 450 who served and the battles they fought.

It is the story of life in the community, the support generated for the war and the crushing news of fatality or injury that came too often.

More that 170 pictures record those who served and the community of their origin.  Community life around the 164th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force is recounted and the book concludes with the post-war construction of the Cenotaphs at Victoria Park and Haltonville.
