The Faculty of Forestry First World War Plaque honours the Graduates and Undergraduates of the Faculty of Forestry who were killed in action. It was erected on January 19, 1926.
Ronald MacKenzie Richards was the first student of the University to fall in the war. When the war was declared he was at home in England and enlisted in the London Scottish. He took part in the first battle of Ypres and was killed a few days later. (Source: University of Toronto Roll of Service 1914-1918).
