A letter was written to Ryries requesting the price of signet rings in view of presenting one to each returned soldier. At the April meeting it was decided that the following soldiers would be given rings: Wesley Basso, Ben Paget, Watson Anderson, Lloyd Lang, Oswald Dukelow, Wes Fleming, Pete Hodgson, Jack Haggart, irvie Dunbar, Fred Ford, Joe Ford, Bert Hill, Frank Hill, Louis Dennis, Jack Smith, Roy Burtch, Geo. Kennedy, Harry Kennedy, Will Pinkerton, Earle Hamilton, Will Flood, Will Webb, Roy Black, Will Herald, John Naismith, Mr. Croker, Pete Tarr, Will Willoughby, Mr. Raredon, Simon Fleming. The mothers who had lost sons in World War I were also to be presented with rings. They were Mrs. A. Bossert, Mrs. T. Burtch, Mrs. Jno. Minorgan, Mrs. J. Kalkhorst, Mrs. Stewart and Mrs. Harkness. The names of soldiers Major Paget, Robt. Woods and G. Quirt were later added to the list. At a second banquet to be held July 29, 1919 the rings were to be presented to "Our Returned Heroes" and to the mothers of "Our Fallen Heroes". These soldiers were indeed heroes and deserved to be thus honoured. In like manner one must be mindful of the determination and exemplary deeds of the Sundridge Women's Institute in World War I.
