Photos of First World War Veterans always welcome!
In 2008, our chairman, Jim McCallum, compiled his first
publication dealing with veterans of the First Great War, 1914-1918. Titled “Age Shall Not Weary Them”, this book
dealt with those killed in action from East Elgin – the townships of Malahide,
Bayham, South Dorchester and the town of Aylmer. Although copies of the book are still
available for sale, the entire content has been placed on the Elgin OGS
website. Go to “Ancestor Indexes”, then
“Military”.
Jim’s next project dealt with all those who served in, and
survived, the First Great War from the above municipalities. Published in a four-volume series arranged by
surname, this material has also been placed on the Elgin OGS website.
Photographs were often difficult to obtain and any
additional photographs are welcome and will be added to the website. Photographs in a Jpeg format can be e-mailed
directly to jmccallum@rogers.com
