GORD MACKINNON REMEMBERS HIS UNCLE RONNIE (PPCLI) IN "STAND TO"

Our Website www.cobwfa.ca is dedicated to remembering the contribution of the Canadian military from Central Ontario and British Forces who served on the Western Front in France and Belgium during World War 1. The purpose of the Western Front Association is to perpetuate the memory, courage and comradeship of those, of both sides, who served their country in France and Flanders (Belgium) during the Great War. The WFA has about 6,000 members worldwide with branches in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and the United States.

We have something new for you - a Bulletin Board where registered members and their invited guests can discuss topics of interest. When you click this link you can create a new account - fill out your name etc - then we'll add you to the list shortly after. You can type way and add attachments. We'll clean them out from time to time but no big deal. The aim is you get your message, ideas, questions out there. Any problems just email WEB TEAM.
