To commemorate Canada Day 2010 in Bala, Ontario CANADA a blog has been created to allow all those interested to learn more about the soldiers of Bala who served and lost their lives in the Great War (1914 - 1919). This site will contain the list of all soldiers who have been identified as attesting from the Town of Bala and the one WW1 soldier who is listed on the Bala Cenotaph.
From the links on this blog, you will be able to access the
Attestation Papers of the soldiers, as well as the Memorial Certificates published by the
Commonwealth War Graves Commission. As we progress, we will link the soldiers names to the
Canadian Virtual War Memorial, the
Canadian Great War Project, and finally to the units in which they served as detailed on the
CEF Matrix.
If you have additional information on any of the soldiers on the list, we would be pleased to add the details to each soldiers profiles.
For additional details on the Canadian Expeditionary Force in the Great War, please visit the
