I am working on a project about Ovingham and district men who died in WW1 and WW2. Although Frank Gilchrist is not mentioned on the War Memorial, I am including him because of the plaque in the church. If you would be willing to share any of your research on Frank with this project, that would be very helpful. There are 26 names on the war memorial, 13 war graves in the cemetery (only a few of them matching names on the war memorial), and at least 8 other men mentioned on family headstones, so there is quite a bit to do for a small village.

Thankyou if you feel able to share anything, but just reading this thread has been good.

I grew up in Sudbury. Val Cartier is not far from Sudbury.
They may have been working on the railroad, or this may
have been where the railway men would have found the ore.
However, ther are many Val Cartiers!
