World War 1 Veterans Data
Volunteer members of the Society have taken each name of a person who served in World War 1 and who was listed on the memorial plaques in Errington Hall, St. Anne's Anglican Church and St. Mark's Anglican Church, as well as the names on the Parksville Cenotaph. They then researched those names in data bases that recorded deaths in that war and noted the full given names of the men (where provided) and the military service number (where provided). With this information, they were able to check the records of the Canadian Expeditionary Force and, with the further information provided there, the vital statistics records in the British Columbia Archives and the 1911 census index and records.
While the Society is reasonably sure of the accuracy of the resultant information, it cautions users that they should check original source records where possible and weigh the information here against other information they have accumulated about their ancestors.
When we were unable to determine with a high degree of certainty that the information located was about the person on the honour roll or cenotaph, we have shown the information as only "possible" and provided a note to assist with examining that information and doing further research.
If you have information about any of the men listed here, and for whom we have no data, please contact the Society using the link on our home page.
