Bill McRAE was forgotten. In his community of Mt. Lehman, Bill was known for his hardships rather than his military service. He was one of many veterans whose sacrifices went unrecognized. Learn about Bill.

There is not enough space on our museum walls to tell every story. To ensure every veteran’s service connected to Matsqui Unit #315 is recognised and preserved, we are developing a searchable digital archive accessible through this website.

The archive will include biographies, photographs, documents, and personal stories contributed by veterans and their families.

Our veterans service is categorized by era of military conflict.
