THOSE FROM DEBERT AND AREA KILLED IN ACTION - WWI & WWII

The following is an attempt to list the names of those from the area of the Debert Branch #106 and Great Village Branch # 72 Royal Canadian Legion ( and some likely beyond those areas in hopes that we might be able to jog a few memories) who have been Killed in Action and commemorated by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. (The links below are to that commemoration.)
We know that it is not complete and therefore ask anyone who may be able to add more names or further information or corrections, to please e-mail the Debert Legion Chaplain, Rev. Don MacQueen.

The one below is not in the Commonwealth War Graves Site.
