Lest We Forget / 3 The Royal Canadian Legion Prince Edward Island Command Let me begin by thanking all those that have contributed with pictures and short biographies for this important booklet. Your contributions will help to ensure that our Veterans shall be remembered for many years. We at the PEI Command of The Royal Canadian Legion and its Executive Council want to thank all that have contributed to the making of this booklet. If not for your support, and that of Fenety Marketing Services, we would not be able to produce these booklets. In this year 2016, let us remember that 90 years ago, The Legion was formed. By the end of World War 1, there were a total of 15 Veterans groups and a number of regimental associations representing former service members in Canada. Despite their common goal – to help returned servicemen in need – their efforts were fragmented and largely unsuccessful. In 1925, an appeal for unity led to the formation of the Dominion Veterans Alliance. The Legion was founded in November of that year in Winnipeg, Manitoba as The Canadian Legion of the British Empire Services League (BESL). It was incorporated by special Act of Parliament, Charter issued in July 1926. During a cold February night, during World War 1, our Canadian Parliament Building in Ottawa caught fire and burned. The only exception was the Parliament Library. Centre Block was completely destroyed and seven people died on this night. Rumours were rife that the fire was caused by enemy sabotage, but a Royal Commission into the fire concluded that it was accidental, caused likely by an unattended candle. Let us remember all who did not return and those that have served and are suffering from the effects of conflict whether physical or mental. It is through your contributions in support of this booklet that The Legion is still able to assist and fund programs to support our Veterans, seniors and youth. Thank you. “We will remember them.” - « Nous nous souviendrons d’eux. » John Yeo Provincial President Prince Edward Island Command The Royal Canadian Legion Message from the President
