Group looks to add troubled WW1 veteran's name to Fredericton war memorial


Lt. Charles Blair fought in the First World War, but his name isn't on the war memorial in his hometown of Fredericton to recognize his contributions overseas. James Rowinski wants to see Lt. Charles Blair's name added to the Fredericton war memorial. Rowinski and his students believe that Blair's name should be on the war memorial in downtown Fredericton. (Gary Moore/CBC)Following that recognition, the group hoped the momentum would help get Blair recognized on the war memorial. He's not sure why they weren't included on the war memorial, but said all three men are recognized on a plaque at St. Paul's church in Fredericton for their war contributions — reinforcing Rowinski's belief that they should be added to the war memorial.
