History of the Sherwood International
Memorial Day Service
In the 1942 edition of the Sherwood Tribune, it carried the lead story "Battle of the Border". It went on to state that . . . "on May 30th, 1942 the American Legion of Sherwood met the Canadian Legion face to face on the boundary line two miles north of Sherwood. The American Legion : crossed the line and followed the Canadian Legion into Canada several rods. They then halted and formed two lines, with the Canadian bagpipes leading in advance of the columns of American and Canadian Legions,they all crossed the International Boundary into American territory. There were no wounded, dying, or dead left after this advance. This was a friendly meeting of two democratic freedom loving people. It was a demonstration of two nations who have learned to live in peace and harmony. . ." they have learned to love thy neighbor as thyself."
