This is an existing listing of serving members of the Canadian Military during World War One and World War Two. All are from Big River and the surrounding local districts. Hopefully, there are no missing names that should be added to this list.
The war years had a large number of volunteers from the area, most did return, but some paid the ultimate price so that we can live in the freedom that we now sometimes take for granted. With their return the population of our community again improved, as many of the returning servicemen brought with them wives that took their place in the community.
