Korean War · 1950–1953 · 1 name

Transcribed names
Jordan, James

352 names transcribed directly from the monument's Roll of Honour (WW1 and WW2 panels plus a single Korea 1950-1953 name), the City of Guelph's central cenotaph. Names are engraved "Surname, Given" and transcribed in that order, column by column as they appear on the bronze panels. This is a much larger, denser monument than the township cenotaphs elsewhere in this archive (~400+ names in small multi-column bronze lettering from photographs, not a fresh site visit) — transcription confidence is lower here than on the smaller monuments; names marked [?] were hard to read with confidence and should be checked against the monument directly if precision matters for research.
