MILITARY SERVICE
While researching our family trees, we have uncovered many ancestors and relatives who have served in the military for their country, in times of war and in times of peace. We are truly grateful for their dedication, bravery, and sacrifices.
You will find references to military service, when known, in the tree reports section of this website, in the notes associated with any given person. You will need to look in the individual trees, using the index to find individuals. Most of these individuals are NOT cross-referenced on this page.
You can also use Google to find any of our references to particular military units or people you may be interested in. For example, if you want to find references to the 26th Battalion on our website, type the following into Google's search box:
26th battalion site: boormanfamily.ca
Where more is known about a relative's military service, we have also posted stories in our blog. And in one particular case, I dedicated a whole page to the military photos from a family photo album.
This Military Service page has been created to cross reference the extra military information in our blog or special pages, for easier reference. See the links below.
