And finally, there were a number of Canadians who did serve in the American Civil War; the Sons of Union Veterans is actually working on a memorial to them at present.

That I did know, in fact I had quite a few ancestors who fought in it (I refuse to say on which side). Most went 'down' from Canada but one started in the USA, came out severely disabled with what is now known as PTSD, and moved to Canada seeking to get as far away from the other side as possible. From family accounts, that didn't work out very well for him and he was a little dangerous to be around if there were sudden loud noises.... but anyway Ted, can you tell me more about the proposed memorial you mention?

Thanks, I'll pass that on to some family members who'll be thrilled for sure. For the Union boys anyway.

Hi, Reece, and welcome to X Marks from the bottom end of Africa.
As for your Civil War, I had better keep my mouth shut. We have enough trouble in this country about the Boer War!
Regards,
Mike
