The Law Socierty of Alberta erected a memorial plaque in memory of the Barristers and Students who fell in the Great War.

Imperial War Graves Commission member Rudyard Kipling recommended the inscription "Their names liveth for evermore" which has widely be inscribed on war memorials since the First World War. The phrase "Their names liveth for evermore" from the King James Version of the Bible, forms the second half of a line in Ecclesiasticus or Sirach, chapter 44, verse 14.

The Legal Archives Society of Alberta’s project titled “We Have Not Forgotten” involved a Bar Call ceremony on November 9, 2018 in the Ceremonial Court at the Calgary Court Center. Families of some of the fallen soldiers were in attendance and stood in for their respective Bar Calls. In memory and recognition of the sacrifice of Alberta students-at-law who enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force, and who served therewith in the Great War of 1914-1918, and who lost their lives in service of our country in said War, the Law Society of Alberta waives all enrolment requirements and acknowledges they are entitled to be posthumously admitted to the Law Society of Alberta in 2018. Patrick Shea, QC, a partner at Gowling WLG in Toronto, has been working for several years to gather information about articling students across Canada who died in World War I.
