Legion Chat: We need your help identifying some local WW I vets
By Walter Wagner
President
As you know a General Meeting was held February 29th. At this meeting we admitted four new members.
Also at this meeting we verified that the Legion will again be spearheading the Walleye Boat Raffle in partnership with KidSport. Look for tickets this spring.
On another note, while rummaging around in the Legion Office, I found a framed document from what looks like the 1st World War. The interesting thing about this piece of history is that it's hand written and shows the statues of soldiers that as far as we know, attended the Knox Church.
There is a total of 35 names on this document, of those, three were killed in action and two were shown wounded.
This memorial is hanging in the club room on the right side of the dart board, on what is our memory corner.
If anyone can help identify the names and history of the memory, please tell me.
