    • Stratford War Memorial, WWI project

    Stratford War Memorial, World War One project
    I am attempting to create a data base of all of the 346 persons from World War One whose names appear on the Stratford War Memorial. I will be providing this data to the Stratford Branch of the Perth County OGS and the Stratford / Perth County Archives and the Perth Co. Genweb site..
    The names on this cenotaph include only those persons linked to the city of Stratford, the townships of Northeast Hope, Ellice and Downie and the Gore of Downie. As of 16 November 1999 I have achieved the following:
    Identification positive = 169; Identification probable = 61; Identification possible = 48; Identification None = 68
    The identification is being done using the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and the C.E.F Attestation Papers Data Bases on the internet and the Newspaper files of the Stratford Daily Beacon and the Stratford Daily Herald. When completed it will include Names, Service number, Regiment and Battalion served with, place of birth, residence, place and circumstance of death and place of burial or commemoration, and public information on family. I will also be including photographs if they are available.
    The following is a list of the 68 WW1 names that I have not identified from the Stratford War Memorial for various reasons. If anyone has information on any of the persons listed, would you please share it. If you have other information about anyone on the memorial from WW1 it would also be appreciated.
