Welcome to the 4CMR website; a place of remembrance to those who served with the 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles in World War 1. In encouraging you to explore and enjoy what I have to offer, I would like to add that this simple website is not intended to be a site of any expertise on the matter of the First World War. It is here to be a point of focus for all who had relatives or research subjects who served at any time with the 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles.
Pivotal to the website is the In Memoriam page, where you will find a "Wall of Honour" to the memory of those who served with the Regiment. Standing alongside the names of the men who served are the names of relatives or researchers who represent them today. Please, if you have a relative or research subject who served with the 4CMR, let us honour their memory by adding their details to the In Memoriam page.
Through my own research efforts, and being fortunate enough to be able to visit sites associated with the 4th CMR around Ypres in Belgium, it is my hope to provide some tangible link to the men, the places and the memorials associated with the Regiment. Through this site we can now come together and say that it was not “all for nothing”, and that whilst they are gone, they are not forgotten. I feel very strongly about that.
So, please, explore and enjoy the site, contribute (please), and do check for updates
as this is a work-in-progress. With our common bond I do look forward to hearing from you soon
as together “We will remember them”.
Best wishes, Ian Forsdike
