Lest We Forget / 3 The Royal Canadian Legion Prince Edward Island Command August 4th, 2014 marks the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I. Canada’s participation in the First World War shaped the country and Canadian identity. More than 650,000 Canadians and Newfoundlanders served in the First World War, with more than 66,000 of them losing their lives. The Royal Canadian Legion recognizes the significance of this historic milestone. One of our most important roles is to be the guardians of Remembrance. We do this as a solemn duty to you and to all Canadian veterans. We can never do enough to remember and pay tribute to those who voluntarily served and paid the ultimate sacrifice, those who have served our country with unwavering commitment, dedication and bravery. On behalf of the Executive Council of Prince Edward Island Command, The Royal Canadian Legion, I wish to express my gratitude to our members, staff and Ladies Auxiliary, extend our thanks to all who provided assistance in making this project a great success. We are grateful to all who provided pictures and information of our veterans. Through the efforts of this booklet, our organization will continue its strong support in the community to develop and fund programs for our veterans, senior and youth. “We will remember them.” - « Nous nous souviendrons d’eux. » ` Gilles Painchaud President Prince Edward Island Command The Royal Canadian Legion Message from The President
