Military Service Recognition Book 14 Documented minutes from the Local Union meeting held June 26, 1917 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. “A meeting was held on this date at the home of Bro. T. Hargrave (now in active service) when the following bros. were present, Bro. Leslie J. Cotter, W. Newby & D.W. Cotton (Sec. Treas.) – Bro. N. McPherson not being able to attend & Bro. Wonledge & Hamilton not being heard from, these constitute the members in town at this date.” “Since our last meeting, a great many changes have taken place. Some of our members are doing their bit overseas, some have been returned and others have served time in the forces but have been fortunate enough to go overseas and one Bro. Jimmy Adamson has made the supreme sacrifice.” The members on our list at the present moment are: “Making 16 in all, all members enlisted having been and are still being carried free.” “Bro Jimmy Adamson’s name does not appear on this list, he having been killed in action, Nov. 28th 1915.” “Our books show a balance in hand of $84-97cts. After almost three years of war.” To these and all other members who have served our Country. We are eternally grateful. Bros. James Butterfield 66th Batt wounded Bros.
