Remembrance Day at Strathroy -More letters on the 13th
The Cenotaph at Strathroy is located in front of the Museum and Library. As you can see it is under renovation and the wreaths on the cenotaph are being watched by the large excavator. Construction fencing protects the public from ending up in the holes. That made for a very unique backdrop for the Air Cadet on the Cenotaph and Vice President of the Sir Arthur Currie Legion, John Fuller as he read the message from the Prime Minister.

Well-known TV presenter and historian Norm Christie will be talking about his new book on the pilgrimage made to Vimy in 1936 by veterans for the unveiling of the Vimy Memorial.
