Remembrance Day - November 11

[janetmp]

Thankyou Zelley.

Yes Ada was Ada Cliff

Ada died in March Qtr 1918 before the sad death of Edward.Arthur died in 1921.

The only member of the family who remained was their eldest son Harry Clifford Wagg. They are distant relations of mine but I think they may have been forgotten.
I have not yet found any info about Harry.

Edward was with the Field Ambulance . Royal army Medical Corps. This info is from CWGC

Thankyou for your interest

Hi,

There people were my inspiration for first starting genealogy and I thank them for the sacrifice they made for my today

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

We will remember them.

Browsed the site and reviewed the list of those lost.  Of interest was the reference to
John Francis ALLEN - 25 - son of
John & Sarah Allen of  No. 9 Franchise Street,
Weymouth, Dorset

Stepping back in time to the year 1891, we find young John F. Allen,
his parents and sister Ethel.  They were residing in Weymouth on
Myrtle Terrace.

I went to the remembrance day service here in our town..  I had not been for the last 3 years as my dad passed away Jan. 02 and he was very involved in our Local legion and all ways marched in the parade and after back at the legion club house he always made hot toddys for everybody who had been on the parade...  I would always go down and help him and after he passed away I could not bring myself to go down and watch.. I would always watch it on t.v. from the capital in Ottawa.. But this year I felt that I could go down again.. I am really happy that I did as I know he will be happy that I did.

I must say it was one of the warmer years we have had  in a lot of years.. It always seems to start snowing in the middle of it..
