They will be interchanged with the Canadian flags on Main Street&#8217;s light standards.<\/p>\n<p>All of the young men were graduates of Huntsville High School who subsequently went off to war &#8211; their ages at when they died ranged from 20 to 22. Their photos were provided by Muskoka Heritage Place.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have been speaking to some of the family members (of the soldiers) and they think it is so wonderful,&#8221; said Renwick. &#8220;It\u2019s a small thing we can do. We have the names on the cenotaph but if you put a face to those names, it speaks volumes.&#8221; Renwick said that the project may be extended in future years.<\/p>\n<p>The banners are personally meaningful for Renwick, too. &#8220;My mom lived (in Holland) in the war, and Canadian soldiers liberated Holland. The Dutch have never forgotten that. When you see the faces of these young soldiers, some of whom are actually buried in Belgium or France or Italy, it makes it a little more real.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
