IN MEMORY OF 1701 MEN OF THE CANADIAN
BANK OF COMMERCE WHO SERVED IN
THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918

FORT WILLIAM
BRANCH
In addition to the monument at its head office in Toronto, the Canadian Bank of Commerce honoured employees from each branch who served in the First World War. This plaque was commissioned shortly after the war and dedicated to the bank's 1701 employees who served in the war, 321 laid down their lives. The names of seven employees of the Fort William Canadian Bank of Commerce who served in the war are listed on the plaque.
The plaque features the caduceus logo of the bank - two snakes winding around a winged staff at the upper left, and two poppies intertwined with a symbolic olive branch at the lower right. The Canadian Bank of Commerce went to great lengths to commemorate its staff that served in the war including a two-volume book of staff profiles and accounts of their war experiences.

Book of Remembrance
THE GATEWAY TO THE WEST
City of Port Arthur
[first page/première page]
This book contains the names of all those who
enlisted for service in World Wars 1 and 2 and who were
resident in the City of Port Arthur at the time of
enlistment.
They served, and many gave their lives or were
maimed for the benefit of Canada and of all mankind - they
served that we and our children may have peace in the
world.
This book is dedicated to them, the citizens of
Port Arthur, who offered their all.
Peace be unto them, with the hope that their
sacrifices may not have been in vain.
[following pages/pages suivantes]
(list of names, for complete list contact us/liste des noms, pour la liste complète, veuillez communiquer avec nous)
The War Relations Committee of the City Council, whose members included Dr. Hutchinson, George Wardrope, Arthur Evans and Chairman Tommy McCullogh, called upon Mrs. Dorothy Hughes, with the help of many others, to compile and organize the names and the well known calligrapher Mrs. Ava Evans to perform the calligraphy.
Starting in 1942-1943, names were collected at several sites such as Eaton's, the Post Office, and local pharmacies. This task fell to the many Ladies Auxiliaries that were active during the 40's. Some names may have been missed as it was up to relatives, friends and ex-service personnel to submit names for the list. The Book contains 2,709 names of which include: - 106 Killed in Action - 24 Prisoners of War - 20 Missing in Action - 16 Awards.
The book was bound in the early 1960's and placed on display in a marble and glass encasement at the Whalen building, now known as the Thunder Bay Hydro building, where it remained until July 4th 2003. It now resides at the Thunder Bay Armoury as a major attraction of the Thunder Bay Military Museum.
