Today, on Remembrance Day, we honour and remember those who served and those who fell in conflict throughout our history.

In local terms, our “Virtual War Memorial” covers a broad swath of time, from the beginning of Toronto Township through our emergence as the City of Mississauga.

Included in this list of fallen soldiers are those that served in conflicts that span our history, including the War of 1812, Rebellion of 1837, Fenian Raids of 1866, Red River and Northwest Rebellions, the Second Boer War, the First World War, the Second World War, Kosovo, Afghanistan and countless peacekeeping initiatives. To date, more than 170 fallen servicemen and women have been identified. Many, but not all, all remembered on local war memorials, honour rolls, and other community commemorations. As always, the search is ongoing. It is our hope to gather as much information as possible on each person identified.

Did your ancestor live in historic Mississauga serve and fall in conflict?
Please share your stories and pictures with us. We are most interested in finding, documenting and copying pictures, portraits, letters, correspondence, stories and remembrances that relate to those who served and fell from historic Mississauga, and the families they left behind.

We will remember them.
