Wait, when is Remembrance Day usually? :s I thought it was the same day as Armistice Day generally...
In any case,RIP! It is really cool that you have all these photos and documentation. I don't know of any ancestors who fought in WWI because my direct ancestors who were living in the Austro-Hungarian Empire or territory ruled by Russia or Germany (re: Polish family) had already left for the States before WWI broke out, thank goodness. (In fact I know my Slovak great-grandfather emigrated at the beginning of the 20th century to avoid the dread Austro-Hungarian draft.) My Sicilian ancestors were also in the US in time.
