Once Well Beloved

Remembering a British Columbia Great War Sacrifice

About this book

A poignant tribute to a community's Great War sacrifice.

In Merritt, British Columbia, a cenotaph honors 44 men who died in World War I. This is the story of those men, their families, and the community they came from—a community shaped by railway executives and British colliers.

Once Well Beloved recalls the lives of twelve soldiers, revealing the social and economic forces that shaped their world. It's a journey through early 20th-century Canada, exploring themes of immigration, industrialization, and the enduring impact of war. For readers of local history, military history, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of community sacrifice.
