Two Perth area men were honoured at our Hall of
Remembrance Museum today, with the presentation of
shadow boxes which have been crafted by MWO (Ret) Ken
Miles, MMM, CD, of Pembroke.
In the first photo, a
shadow box in memory of CWO (Ret) Ernest Joseph Hall,
MMM, MSM, CD, was presented to the museum by
siblings of Ernie Hall - Lisa Anderson, Peter Hall and
Sue Robertson. On the left is museum Curator John

motorist in Jan. 2015. He served more than 38 years over
many war zones with The Royal Canadian Regiment
Second photo: shadow box in memory of Maj (Ret) Eric
Devlin, CD, was presented by Eric's widow, Marilyn

Christmas Day, 2018. He served a total of more than 42
years in the Canadian Army, mostly with The Royal
Canadian Regiment, in several war zones.
Both men were jumpers, and highly esteemed by both
brothers-in-arms, and residents of Lanark and Perth,

The shadow boxes will be on display at our museum from
