Remembering a Veteran

Remembering a Veteran from World War I

William James TaylorLegion Member Cheryl Moore's grandfather served in World War I as part of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces. William James Taylor was wounded on June 1, 1916, invalided out and returned to Canada in May 1919. He died in 1942 and is buried at the Mt Royal Cemetery in Montreal, QC.

Cheryl made the trip to Belgium to experience the battlefields, the cemeteries, memorials and museums in remembrance of her grandfather and wanted to share some of her reminders of an emotional  visit.

You can read more about Hill 62 (Santuary Wood) on the Veterans Canada website

If you live in Maple Ridge or Pitt Meadows and would like to share a story and images of a Veteran of any age, please contact us, we want the act of Remembrance to live on.
