Coe Hill Memorial |
Difficulties are arising of identify of a few individuals from this list that do not match Commonwealth War Graves Commission deaths. There are several people sharing the same name on records, but no indication if they came from an area linked to Coe Hill especially the Hastings County Military Regiment.
The Coe Hill Legion, in the middle of the village, was started just after World War II when soldiers arrived home. The veteran members of the Legion, and community folk are active in the Legion building in helping in the community, hosting events and encouraging the memories of those who are soldiers from this area. New grey military tombstones are being added for the men buried in these Coe Hill graveyards. Thank you.
THE MUSIC OF WORLD WAR II
Vera Lynn sang to encourage the troops.
