EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Honoring the Brave: Liverpool Sheltering Homes Plaque Commemorating WWI Orphans' Valiant Service" This evocative plaque, housed at the Liverpool Sheltering Homes, serves as a poignant reminder of the extraordinary sacrifices made by destitute children who once resided there. These orphans and children in care, having found refuge in this welfare institution, went on to enlist in Canadian regiments during the tumultuous years of the First World War (1914-1918). The Great War, a global conflict that engulfed Europe and beyond, saw countless young lives uprooted and forever altered. For these children, who had already faced adversity in their early years, the decision to join the military was a testament to their courage and resilience. Their enlistment not only reflected their personal determination but also their newfound sense of belonging to their adopted homeland, Canada. The Liverpool Sheltering Homes plaque, a cherished memorial, bears the names of over 100 former residents who answered the call to duty. Their selfless acts of valor and dedication to the cause are immortalized in this commemorative tribute. The plaque stands as a testament to the transformative power of care and support, as these children, once orphaned and in need, became soldiers and heroes. As we reflect upon the historical significance of this plaque, we are reminded of the indomitable human spirit and the capacity for hope and resilience, even in the face of adversity. The Liverpool Sheltering Homes plaque is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave young men and women, and the enduring impact of the care and support they received during their formative years.
