LADDIE MILLEN: THE BEST BELOVED BOY IN THE PATS

JOHN ERNEST LYSLE MILLEN

August 12, 1895 - February 19, 1916

“From August 1914 to November 1918, Canada contributed 620,000 men to the war. In the end, 61,000 – about 10 per cent – had been killed. Another 172,000 had been wounded. For a country of not yet eight million, it was an enormous undertaking, and an enormous sacrifice.” (The Storied Princess Pats Regiment)

LEST WE FORGET.

My great-uncle Ladd
