War and RemembranceThe most important section of this site.
Here, we will attempt to put real people behind those names on
the cenotaph.
Far too many people don't take the few moments to reflect on
Remembrance Day about those who made a great sacrifice to ensure
we had a chance to live a peaceful life today.

Unfortunately, one name not on the cenotaph was Maurice O.
CHENEY, son of R. D. (Deckster) CHENEY. His
