The World Remembers concludes with intimate Remembrance Day service

After two months of displaying the names of military personnel killed in the final year of the First World War, the last name scrolled across the screen at the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts on Sunday evening at 9:01 p.m. The intimate Remembrance Day service at the school marked the end of the The World Remembers, a Canadian-led international project to commemorate those killed during the war and those who died of their injuries in the years that followed. Pictured are two participants of the service: Kayla Krasnor, fourth-year Brock Nursing student and Officer Cadet in the Royal Canadian Air Force, and Michael Ashford, Associate fellow of The History Lab, Master Warrant Officer (retired) in the Canadian Army and Volunteer at the Niagara Military Museum. Krasnor performed The Last Post and the Reveille, and Ashford commanded the present arms. A reading of In Flander's Fields was presented at the service, and students in Associate Professor Maria Del Carmen Suescun Pozas’ Latin America history class performed the closing of the Day of the Dead Ofrenda, which also served to honour the dead. The project was a collaboration between the History Lab, Niagara Falls Public Library, the Department of History, the Centre for Canadian Studies, the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts and Brock’s Marketing and Communications department.
