thanks everyone for your input. It would certainly be great to put a face to the name – specially since the folks I’ve spoken to at the local Royal Canadian Legion Branch would love to acknowledge his deeds. Unfortunately due to our press deadlines, further research is cost and time prohibitive, but I have managed to get a shot of his marker included in the book.

For general interest sake, I’ve attached pics of the plaque dedicated by his brother in 1935, the family marker and one of R.A.’s stone after I did some cutting/digging and cleaning (all here in Iroquois). It is certainly a shame that no further information regarding him is preserved around the area, as so much of the local industry and population was disturbed/relocated/erased during the St. Lawrence Seaway project in the during the late ’50s.
