Mon dossier ACCLa ville de Port Moody a dédié le monument aux morts d’Ioco à tous les habitants d’Ioco qui ont servi en temps de guerre et de paix, en particulier Edward Hanson, Leslie McCrea et Arthur Kreut, qui ont été tués pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
Guy Black, un historien local, a demandé à la ville de Port Moody d’inclure ce monument commémoratif dans le programme historique de pierre tombales et story-boards de Port Moody, et il a rédigé l’inscription commémorative.
IN THE CAUSE OF FREEDOM AND PEACE
MANY YEARS AGO EDWARD HANSON,
LESLIE MCCREA AND ARTHUR KREUT
LIVED IN IOCO
THEY WERE LIFELONG FRIENDS, WHO
EXPLORED THE SURROUNDING FORESTS
AND MOUNTAINS, SWAM IN THE INLET
DURING THE SUMMER AND SKATED ON
THE ICE DURING WINTER.
WHEN WORLD WAR II BEGAN, THEY LEFT
THEIR HOMES AND FAMILIES TO JOIN
THE ROYAL CANADIAN AIR FORCE
SADLY, THEY WOULD NEVER
RETURN HOME.
THIS PLAQUE IS DEDICATED TO
THE EVERLASTING SPIRIT OF THESE
THREE BRAVE MEN AND ALL THOSE
FROM IOCO THAT SERVED DURING
WAR AND PEACETIME.
