The Royal Canadian Legion Saskatchewan Command LEST WE FORGET 283 The Branch was chartered on February 21, 1947. The first slate of officers were: President, John Thomas Warrilow; 1st Vice-President, Arthur Eugene Resvick; 2nd Vice-President, Morris Minuk; Secretary, Harold R. Bochek. Certificates of membership were completed in accordance for: H.R. Bochek, D.M. Currie, J.E. Forsyth, J.L. Gibbons, E. Grainger, W.F. Harrow, P.J. Haubrich, B.G. Jones, A. Keyworth, W.K. Lyne; M.

The Branch continues to operate with a membership of twenty-one men and women. Over the years, the Legion membership guidelines have been relaxed to include sons and daughters (and their spouses) of Veterans. Regular civilians may also join if sponsored by two Legion members. After two years of exemplary service, they are awarded voting rights like Regular and Associate members. The Legion has built a Cenotaph at the south end of Main Street. It was unveiled on July 6, 1980. It has two plaques, which name the local heroes who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the two World Wars. There are still two Veterans with our Hodgeville group: Art Wirsche and Leo Michell. Each year on Remembrance Day, The Royal Canadian Legion holds ceremonies honouring all those who served in the wars… lest we forget.
