Every community big or small in Canada has monuments to their war dead.
Noel has a particular poinent one.
The Harvie family sent 8 of their sons off to war.
6 came home. 2 didn't. One buried in the Netherlands the other in the UK.
This monument pays tribute to this family.
It dwarfs the more famous Sullivan family or the story of the film Saving Private Ryan.
This family lost more members than any other in ALL of North America.
And they all came from the very small community of Noel.
8!
The mother relieved the Silver Cross.
Small comfort for such a sacrifice.
Lest we Forget.
