In Every Little Village


Memorial at Beaumont-Hamel

I've seen them. In every little village across England and Scotland, they’re there. They’re found across Canada from the Maritimes to the Prairies to British Columbia. Sometimes they are at the crossroads where they can’t be missed, and sometimes they’re off to the side, shielded from the traffic and the bustle. When you know what they are, they become irresistible. When I see one, I have to stop, then approach in reverence. The names are usually toward the bottom where the monument is wider, and often they are on every side. In some towns the list is shockingly long, but in others there may be only a dozen or so. There’s a solemn irony for you. From this tiny village of perhaps three-score houses only a dozen were killed.

I have just joined the American Legion Auxiliary and was a part of our Memorial service in our small town today. First let me say, this is a very small, farm town. So when you meet someone here, half the town it related. There are names you start recognizing and jokingly may ask what cousin did you marry. Sorry - but sometimes they proceed to tell me. Today they read of each and every name. Farm families have been here for generations so the last names get repeated a lot. Not knowing the people, by the 5th last name mentioned I am assuming some were in earlier wars and some more recent. For those families, they have given all.
