Memorial Sunday held to honour late veterans at Branch 188

Honouring and remembering local veterans that came home and have since passed, a Memorial Sunday ceremony was held inside the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 188 in Kingsville.

Always held the first Sunday in June, a Prayer for Deceased Comrades and a Call The Roll of Post-War Deceased reminded all those in attendance of the sacrifices made by our veterans and that they will not be forgotten.

Though they didn’t see action overseas, the ladies that belonged to the Auxiliary were also recognized for their unselfish efforts at the ceremony.

Legion volunteers made a strong visual impact over the weekend as they placed Canadian flags at veteran places of rest at cemeteries in Kingsville, Olinda, Ruthven and Cottam.
