Roll of Honour
"This Roll of Honour has been prepared as a permanent tribute to those men of the teaching profession in Ontario, who enlisted in connection with the Great War." Source: The Roll of Honour of the Ontario Teachers Who Served in the Great War 1914-1918 (The Ryerson Press: Toronto, 1922). The 1914-1918 Roll of Service for Ontario Teachers contains 851 names. 101 died as a result of their military service. The information on this Honour Roll may differ from other sources as it was compiled by the Department of Education in Toronto, Ontario, from "...varied and numerous sources, that mistakes are inevitable." -
Document
The War Graves Register (Form E-13) for Lieutenant Stauffer reports that his battlefield burial location was at trench map coordinates 57c.S.16.c.3.2 (to 3.5). In the event that you are researching this Lieutenant, the trench map coordinates are reported incorrectly. At the time of his death, Lieutenant Stauffer was with the 50th Infantry Battalion at Hill 145 on the second day of the assault on Vimy Ridge. The correct map for that location is 36c and not 57c, so the remains would have been buried at 36c.S.16.c.3.2 (to 3.5). -
Memorial
His name as it is inscribed on the Vimy Memorial. Over 11,000 fallen Canadians having no known place of burial in France, are honoured on this Memorial. May they never be forgotten. (J. Stephens) -
