The Alma Cenotaph, erected by the Alma Royal Canadian Legion on November 9, 1947, is dedicated to the citizens of Alma who fought and died during the two World Wars.

The work of the attacking soldiers was created by sculptor Louis Sorbonne of Quebec. The plate is made of aluminum, significant because several facilities related to the aluminum industry were built in the area to aid in the war effort.

The cenotaph was placed at the corner of Collard Street and Regional Road. In 1962, it was moved near the Town Hall (Alma city center). Then in 1978, a small park was created at the entrance to the Riverbend area and the cenotaph was moved there.

Charles William Kelsey (1877-1975) trained in England and emigrated to Montreal in 1922. His stained glass designs can be found in England, Australia, the United States and in over sixty-eight churches in Canada. His war memorial windows were commissioned between 1921 and 1956 including ten memorials for World War I, twenty-two memorials for World War II and ten memorials for both World Wars.

The Parish of St. Stephen, in Lachine, Quebec is one of the oldest Anglican churches in Canada having been founded in 1822.

A three panel World War II memorial window dedicated to Warrant Officer Class II Reginald Ernest Vokey is in the nave of St. Stephen's Anglican Church. Reginald was the son of Ernest William and Elsa May Vokey, of Lachine Quebec. This window was commissioned in July 1945, for $500.  The window depicts St Michael holding a flaming sword and a shield. Included is the badge for the 415 Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Force.

J. CAMPBELL
CLOUSTON
1900-1940

HÉROS DE CHEZ NOUS
Né et élevé à Montréal, Campbell Clouston participa à des courses de voiliers sur le lac Saint-Louis pendant sa jeunesse. Il fréquenta le Lower Canada College et l’Université McGill avant de s’enrôler dans la Marine royale britannique en 1918. Pendant les vingt années suivantes, il progressa dans les rangs d’officiers et prit le commandement du destroyer HMS Isis en 1937.

En 1940, les forces allemandes gagnèrent du terrain, repoussant les soldats britanniques, français et belges sur la côte à Dunkerque en France. Le capitaine de frégate Clouston participa à l’opération Dynamo (26 mai – 4 juin) pour évacuer les troupes alliées prises au piège. À titre de responsable de la jetée de l’est, un brise-lame en guise de quai, il travailla sans relâche pendant six jours sous les tirs ennemis. Faisant preuve de courage, il organisa et supervisa ainsi l’embarquement des soldats sur les bateaux.

Alors que l’on prévoyait l’évacuation de 45 000 soldats, le « Miracle de Dunkerque » contribua à sauver la vie de plus de 338 000 soldats. La majorité embarqua à partir de la jetée de l’est, sous le commandement de Clouston. À la suite d’une brève réunion en Angleterre, lors de son retour vers Dunkerque pour coordonner l’évacuation des derniers soldats français et belges le 2 juin, son bateau fut ciblé par des avions ennemis et il coula. Campbell Clouston périt en mer.

HOMETOWN HERO
Born and raised in Montreal, Campbell Clouston raced sailboats on Lake Saint Louis in his youth and later attended Lower Canada College and McGill University before enlisting in Britain’s Royal Navy in 1918. Over the next two decades, he rose through the officer ranks and was appointed to command the destroyer HMS Isis in 1937.

In 1940, as British, French and Belgian soldiers were pushed back to the coast of France at Dunkirk by advancing German forces, Commander Clouston took part in Operation Dynamo (May 26-June 4) to evacuate the trapped Allied troops. As piermaster of the east mole, a breakwater pressed into service as a wharf, he worked courageously around the clock for six days while under enemy fire, organizing and overseeing the boarding of troops onto waiting ships.

Although expectations were for 45,000 to be evacuated, the “Miracle of Dunkirk” resulted in more than 338,000 troops saved. The majority of those were embarked from the east mole under Clouston’s command. After a brief meeting in England and while returning to Dunkirk on June 2, to coordinate the rescue of remaining French and Belgian soldiers, his motor launch was attacked and sunk by enemy aircraft. Campbell Clouston perished at sea.

Fort Rolland Street was named to commemorate Fort Rolland which was located close to the street bearing its name.

 

Fort Rolland was built by François LeNoir (dit Rolland) around 1670. LeNoir had arrived in Quebec City in August 1665 as a soldier in the Carignan- Salière Regiment but upon his discharge from the Army, he remained in Quebec and launched into the fur trade. In 1669 he requested a parcel of land in the area now known as Lachine and built a trading post protected by a stockade and a small garrison of soldiers. This post also served to protect the nearby inhabitants and became known as Fort Rolland. On 5 August 1689, Fort Rolland was attacked by the Iroquois; the structure and settlement were destroyed and the fort eventually abandoned.

Le Champ d’Honneur National
Du Fonds du Souvenir

Inauguré en 1930, ce lieu est l’œuvre du Fonds du Souvenir, un organisme de bienfaisance fondé en 1909 pour offrir une sépulture honorable aux Anciens Combattants sans le sou à une époque où l’état n’assumait pas cette responsabilité. Il reflète bien la tradition des cimetières militaires par la sobriété de son plan axial, la disposition ordonnée des stèles et le traitement uniforme des sépultures, symboles de la discipline militaire et du principe de l’égalité des soldats dans la mort. Lieu de mémoire, ce cimetière et ces monuments évoquent d’une façon poignante les sacrifices des hommes et des femmes qui ont servi la patrie.

Last Post Fund
National Field of Honour

Inaugurated in 1930, this cemetery is the work of the Last Post Fund, a non-profit organization founded in 1909 to provide honourable burials for indigent veterans at a time when the government did not assume the responsibility. It exemplifies the tradition of military cemeteries in the simplicity of its axial plan, orderly placement of tombstones and uniform treatment of graves, elements symbolic of military discipline and the equality of soldiers in death. A place of remembrance, this cemetery and its monuments are a poignant and powerful evocation of the sacrifices of the men and women who served their country.

This memorial is dedicated to all Veterans.

The 1908 death of Trooper James Daly in Montreal, a soldier for over 20 years and a veteran of the South African War, was the catalyst that would lead to the creation of the Last Post Fund by Arthur Hair. Being a veteran of the South African War himself, and now an orderly at the hospital where Daly had been treated, Hair was shocked that the penniless Daly’s remains would likely be turned over to science for medical research, as was customary in those days. Hair raised money from friends and colleagues to give the soldier a decent and dignified funeral and Daly was buried at the Notre-Dame-des-Neiges cemetery on Mount-Royal. Wanting to ensure that no Veteran in need would ever be deprived of a dignified burial, Hair quickly founded the Last Post Fund in 1909 with the purchase of two plots on Mount Royal. With the advent of WWI, these two plots soon reached capacity, and in 1929 the Last Post Fund purchased six acres of land adjacent to the Lakeview Cemetery in Pointe-Claire. This piece of land would become the National Field of Honour, the final resting place for more than 20,000 servicemen and women, and their loved ones.
