Updated - WWI Casualties of Yarmouth Town and County (April 29) During the month of April Wartime Heritage has revised the list of men and women connected to Yarmouth Town and County who lost their lives during World War I (1914 -1918), or their post war death was attributed to wartime service. We have researched and created 14 new Remembrance pages and have added the names to our list of 26 names who died after August 31, 1921. “Death was attributed to wartime service” is officially recognized by Veteran Affairs Canada; however, death certificates may also indicate war service as a contributing factor. This was the case of the death certificate of Milby Murray Spates, and we included his name on our list. During our extensive research we identified a number of Veterans who died of tuberculous and/or heart issues after discharge and who had suffered from influenza, pneumonia, and related issues during service. Veteran Affairs do not recognize them. Such is the case of Percy Fenton, who died of tuberculous and who was hospitalized for influenza during service. With a list of some 1738 individuals who served there are likely many who died post war from illness related to service. We coordinated with John Grattan who is undertaking a review of Veteran graves in Yarmouth County, and we have shared information with each other resulting from our research and his identification of veteran graves.
