Aamjiwnaang First Nation Second World War Honour Roll

Sarnia, Ontario
Type
Other

In early February of 1944, an honour roll in the St. Clair United Church was unveiled. It pays tribute to the Sarnia First Nation men and women who were serving in the Second World War. It was unveiled under flags of Canada and the United States as First Nation people were serving in both militaries. Edwin Maness, the oldest Veteran of the First World War of Aamjiwnaang First Nation, unveiled the honour roll with 25 names.

Three honour rolls located within St. Clair United Church pay tribute to local Aamjiwnaang First Nations who served during the two World Wars. One honours those who served in the First World War and the other two (one which was completed before the end of the war) honour those who served in the Second World War.

Copies of the honour rolls were framed and placed in the Aamjiwnaang First Nation office around 2015.
