Following World War II, the returned service men of Pathlow and District met to form a Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. They obtained their charter on February 13, 1948. In May 1949, the Ladies’ Auxiliary was formed, obtaining their charter on May 14, 1949. Circa 1960, the Pathlow Branch 344 purchased Pathlow Heights County School for their Legion building, moved it into Pathlow and turned the hall back to the community. A Cenotaph honouring local men killed in action was built nearby and dedicated in 1971 at an outdoor church service. In 1992, due to the decline of Legion membership, the Ladies’ Auxiliary turned in their charter and joined the Legion Branch as Associate members. November 11th has always been the focal point of Branch activities. Services alternated between Pathlow and St. Brieux Villages, until accommodation was no longer available in Pathlow. They now hold services in St. Brieux, which are always well supported. The Branch attends Remembrance Day services at Pleasantdale and St. Brieux schools.
