Scotch Ridge United Church War Plaque

Page Mounted 8 Sept 2000

Two memorials are posted inside the Scotch Ridge United Church, honoring the men of the church who volunteered for active service in the  two world wars.
 

I would appreciate it if someone in or near St. James would stop at the church and validate my transcription, especially the name with the asterisk.     Ralph Hannan
