Welcome to the 4CMR website; a place of remembrance to those who served with the 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles in the First World War.

This simple website is not intended to be a site of any expertise on the matter of World War 1, but to be a point of focus for those who had relatives or research subjects who served at any time with the 4CMR. As the website has grown out of discovering that my great-grandfather's brother, Cpl. Frank Forsdike, fought and died with the 4CMR, I do invite you to click on The Journey to read the amazing story behind the incredible events that eventually led to Frank's previously unclaimed medals being presented to his daughter, 92 years after Frank's loss.

Pivotal to this website is the In Memoriam page, where you will find a "Wall of Honour" to the memory of those who served with the Regiment. Just as importantly, standing alongside the names of those soldiers are the names of relatives or researchers who now represent those men today. So, if you have a relative, or research subject, who served with the 4CMR, please do let me honour their memory by adding their details to the In Memoriam page.

It is my hope to provide some tangible link to the men, the places and the Memorials associated with the Regiment. So, please, explore and enjoy the site, contribute (please), and do check the News page for updates as this is a work-in-progress.

Through this website we can say together that it was not "all for nothing", and more importantly that although they are gone, they are not forgotten. I feel very strongly about that.

With our common bond I do look forward to hearing from you soon, as together "We will remember them".

Best wishes, kindest regards,

Ian
