         November 11, 2018 is the 100th Anniversary of the armistice that ended the First World War.  This was the most bloody and widespread conflict the world had ever seen, and it’s armistice was received with thanks and prayers around the world.  Canada contributed to the efforts of that war in many ways, not the least of which was supplying young men and women to the military. 

         On this upcoming 100th Anniversary of the end to the most brutal war the world had ever seen, the Carlyle Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion would like to remind the town of Carlyle of the citizens of Carlyle who particpated in that struggle.  Below you will find the names of the local citizens who were named in “Prairie Trails to Blacktop” (Carlyle History Book, published in 1982) as:

         “They served for King and Country in World War 1”.
