The Culbert Family History blog dedicates this week to remembering the descendants of John Culbert and Mary Ward who enlisted in the First World War (1914-1918).
We'll start on Monday with a tribute to a 20-year-old hardware clerk from Exeter, Ontario who made the ultimate sacrifice for his country: his life.
Later in the week, we'll meet a Culbert whose name I found by chance, inscribed on a war memorial. He was killed in action just one month short of his 25th birthday.
The week of remembrance will wrap up on November 11th with a list of Culbert descendants who enlisted in WW1, with brief biographies for each.
