WWI Soldier Details

This Page Last Updated January 02, 2010 08:53:22 PM

The soldier pages contain information that is available from a number of resources. The following hyperlinks are active where the information is available:
Soldier Name: Veteran Affairs Canada, Canadian Virtual War Memorial
Soldier Number: Library and Archives Canada, Attestation Papers
Cemetery: Commonwealth War Graves Commission, Debt of Honour Register
Remembrance: Maple Leaf Legacy Project, Remembrance of Canada's War Dead

IMPORTANT NOTICE JANUARY 2010: The Maple Leaf Legacy Project has changed their web site to http://www.mapleleaflegacy.ca (from *.org) and so all of the links on this Milton Soldiers web site to that site are broken. Until such time as we are able to repair all the links, please use the MLP search function to find the Milton Soldiers by name. If you need assistance, please e-mail me directly (see WEB PROBLEMS in the footer to all pages).

The summary of the service is taken from the soldier's service records, if they were available from Library and Archives Canada.  A complete copy of the service record is available in electronic and paper format in the Alex Cooke Memorial Archives at the Milton Historical Society.  As of August 2008 a complete copy of the service file is available on-line at CEF Service Records. You can search that file by name or service number. Please note that the paper records in the Archives do not include all of the documents available by way of the hyperlinks from this web site. As of December 25, 2008 all of the Nominal Rolls of the CEF Infantry Battalions, including Milton's 164th Battalion are available on-line at CEF Nominal Rolls.

Using that summary, combined with the key references, a summary of the events leading up to the death of the soldier has been prepared "where possible".  The research information available is as noted on the Canadian Expeditionary Force Study Group web site Matrix Project as well as in the Library and Archives Canada On-Line War Diaries. Additional details are also provided from the textual references, such as Nicholson's "Official history of the Canadian Army: Canadian Expeditionary Force 1914-1919".  A complete copy of the text, maps, sketches and Google Earth overlays has been transcribed from the original by Richard Laughton and Lynn Lane of the CEFSG.

Please also note that we have now placed a number of the Milton Soldiers in their appropriate grave site position using Google Earth. A tour of the cemeteries identifying a number of the grave sites is now on line at "Milton Soldiers Google Earth". More grave sites will be added as the 2008 project continues.

 
The following is the list that has been compiled of those soldiers from, or associated with the Milton Victoria Park Cenotaph, that were included in the 2007 Remembrance Project.  We have recently completed the 2008 with the soldiers on the Haltonville Cenotaph.  Please note that there are soldiers listed that are not on either cenotaph which will be documented in October 2008. As well there is at one name that is incorrect on the Victoria Park Cenotaph (Mary Patterson), that is being removed from the cenotaph in October 2008.  An unidentified soldier (Wesley Roberts) has existed on the Haltonville Cenotaph since it was created.  There is no record of this soldier having been killed in action nor in fact his existence.

The colouring of the cell with the name distinguishes the location of the memorial and the status of the research on that soldier. Click on the family name to go to each soldier's page.
