Hi.

There are still many many families
and next of kin that these people (above)
are trying to locate in order to tell
them that their `Fallen Soldier' relative
that has been honoured by having Lakes and
Rivers named after them in honour of their
service and memory.
There is a CERTIFICATE to be presented
to the next of kin of all of these men.

If you, or someone you know, has lost a
relative to war, please get in touch with
the man/address/email listed above so that
the next of kin can be informed and given this
certificate.

If the man above only deals with those
Soldiers of Manitoba, then I'm sure he can direct
relatives to the correct people to find out
if their relatives also were so honoured.

Please...pass this info on!

PS: I'm the only relative of my Uncle who
Mr Holm has had contact with so far. If I am
not eligible as next of kin (I have an elder
sister and two elder cousins...who is oldest, I don't know) Mr Holm was VERY glad to hear from
me...as he will be to hear from anyone else
he's been trying to locate.

Take care...and to all those out there who have, or, will have, loved ones serve this time round... my prayers and heart go with you all that you return home to your families.

Prayer can never hurt and always helps, even in the simple positiveness of feeling. Its felt... and thats a good thing. Eh?
