Hope Township soldiers

From the 24 Dec 1918 issue of the Port Hope Evening Guide
Hope Township Soldiers
Sixty-four Answered the Call — Eleven Killed — One Died at Sea and Two Are Missing
The following table is a list of young men from the Township of Hope who donned the uniform for army service in any capacity.
Eleven lie buried in France, one died at sea, and two are missing. Others are badly maimed and some slightly wounded, but the thought of those, however loved and mourned, should not deter us from showing our unbounded gratitude and esteem to the returning brave ones who went forth fired with the same purpose as their less fortunate comrades.
It may be said of this list, as of that compiled for Port Hope, that there may be some omissions or errors, but
we will be pleased for any corrections.
