Fernie women shine spotlight on war history through research project

Sylvia Ayers, Lindsay Vallance are uncovering the history of veterans listed on the Fernie cenotaph

A project documenting the intricate lives of First and Second World War veterans listed on the Fernie cenotaph was displayed publicly for the first time on Remembrance Day.

A board filled with historic information on local veterans was placed in the Legion for the public to view as they ate lunch. Reading through the material, attendees were able to get a sense of how each man lived and died.
