November 4, 2023. Over the past years, the On The War Memorial Trail Research Project has been telling stories of those who have served our country. This isn’t done in isolation but with the help of many families who contributed photos and personal recollections.
..John Robinson was the nephew of WWI soldier Arthur Clinton Robinson…
This week, we received word that Arthur ‘John’ Robinson, nephew of Arthur Clinton ROBINSON, a WWI soldier with the 26th (New Brunswick) Battalion, from Tryon, Prince Edward Island, who is buried in Belgium, passed away.

We visited Arthur’s grave in La Laiterie Military Cemetery in 2017. Up to now, however, neither we nor the family have been able to find a photo of this WWI soldier, who is listed on the Cenotaph outside the Borden-Carleton Legion in Borden-Carleton, Prince Edward Island.
