We pause today to remember all military veterans who served our country . The following text was copied from a post by Kathleen Taylor in an Exploits Island Facebook group.
World War One and Exploits, by the numbers
29 men from and associated with Exploits enlisted.
11(at least) died and did not return to Exploits:
3 were killed in the battle of Beaumont Hamel:
7 were wounded in other battles , died from their wounds and were buried in various cemeteries in France.
Like many other small communities,Exploits paid a large price and it altered its future
The research was conducted by her uncle Cliff Lilly.
