I’ve continued to do research on the 8 individuals from surrounding areas but have not had much luck. I believe I’ve located Cornelius Wiebe and family living in Winnipegosis but Cornelius was much too old to have served and it does not look like his sons served either. I may have also found Pat Klines living in Winnipegosis with his family but haven’t had any luck locating papers for either man.
I have additional research done for WWII records but because of privacy and access laws it makes it more difficult to find and identify those who served. In the near future I will go in and make the necessary changes to the current list.
