In memory of those U of A community members who served during the first and second world wars, we took a walk through the halls of Convocation Hall, where their names are displayed. The names presented here and on the walls of Convocation Hall represent those who were active members of the U of A during their service. We hope that all those university community members who may have joined the school after 1919 and 1945 respectively, and all of those who served in later conflicts will also be remembered during Wednesday’s remembrance ceremonies across the nation.
