U of G student traces lives of fallen WWI soldiers who 'walked the same halls'

There were 109 students from the Ontario Agriculture College who lost their lives in World War 1, and now a University of Guelph student is honouring them. Although the names of the 109 fallen soldiers are immortalized through a plaque at the U of G’s War Memorial Hall, Zane Ward wanted to know more about their lives and service. Ward is doing his masters in European studies at the U of G. During his undergraduate degree in 2024, he embarked on a task to find out who the 109 men were. “These men were here and they walked among these very halls,” said Ward. When the war ended, students had the idea for War Memorial Hall to be built to honour the fallen soldiers. It opened in June 1924. After the 100th anniversary of the opening was marked, Project Reunion started.
