from a small committee from one of the church groups (of the time) that sent off its members. Its now evolving to the larger county wide community, as committee members see just how many were lost. Locally we had soldiers fighting over there early on before it was declared with British & Canadian forces along with the, harrowing job of driving the ambulances.
