Canadian Fallen Heroes Foundation Presents New Memorials

Three new memorial plaques were recently received by the local Legion Branch commemorating Fallen Heroes with ties to the Vermilion Area.

On the left is Vincent Stanley Hall sponsored by Creech’s Lakeland Funeral Home. In the centre is Charles Duncan Calder sponsored by Martin’s Plumbing & Heating and on the right is Albert Walter Klatt sponsored by the Klatt Family from Vermilion. Also adding to sponsorships is Mr. Ron Tibbitt.

With this recent arrival of memorials, our display in the memorial room at Branch 11 now totals 45 Fallen Hero Comrades from this area that lost their lives in recent wars. The 45 plaques are only a part of the total fallen from east-central Alberta that is somewhere around 190. These numbers are from an area that covers from Innisfree to around Kitscoty and from Frog Lake to just short of Wainwright.

The public is always welcome to visit our local branch and view our memorial collection and read the short captions that detail where and when and where they were laid to rest. To donate to Canadian Fallen Heroes Foundation contact the Legion Clubroom and they will direct you to our local contact. ‘WE WILL REMEMBER THEM”
