Insignia of the Stormont Dundas & Glengarry Highlanders

We’ve received an interesting request from Tina Hansen of Whitehorse, Yukon to try and locate a photo of Lionel Murch Way, a fallen soldier of World War II.

The photo would be used on memorial cards that are being placed with the graves of soldiers this August for visiting veterans and their families. Any help is greatly appreciated. If you have a photograph to help this cause, please let us know at research@seventhtownresearch.com and we’ll pass on your info.

Here’s some information that may help locate his photo:

  • Born August 2 1915 in Belleville to Walter and Eva Pearl (Stapley) Way.
  • Died February 27 1945 in Germany.
  • His wife’s name was Alice Margaret
  • He was a soldier with the Stormont Dundas & Glengarry Highlanders.
