In the fall of 2015 the Grade 8 class at Alcona Glen Public school embarked on an inquiry project designed to further the class’s investigative skills while honouring the lives and memories of local Veterans. Within Walking distance of Alcona Glen there are 25 streets named for WWI & II Veterans. Students researched the lives of the veterans and summarized them, attaching them to a map of the community. This project honours Milton Emerson Galloway, born May 25, 1918. He enlisted in the Canadian Armoured Corps, service number A103822, on August 4, 1942. He married Doris Jinks and they had one son, Larry. Galloway passed away on January 5, 2004 at 85 years of age. He had been stationed at Camp Suffield in Alberta and worked for the Defence Research Establishment Suffield.
