The efforts of the Toronto Railway Mail Clerks during the Great War were remembered by a commemorative plaque. The Toronto Railway Mail Clerks lost five men in the First World War. In 1889, the Railway Mail Clerk’s Association meets for the first time. Around 1916, the Association becomes the Dominion Railway Mail Clerk’s Federation, and, later, about 1951, the union is renamed the Canadian Railway Mail Clerks’ Federation. This memorial was erected by the Railway Mail Clerk’s Association Toronto.
