In the 20th Century's two World Wars, McGill lost more than 600 men and women: 363 from McGill perished in World War I and another 298 lost their lives in World War II. McGill also made significant contributions to the medical care of wounded soldiers in both wars. Since then, members of the McGill community have helped resolve conflicts in Kosovo, Eritrea, Afghanistan and elsewhere.

Please join us in reflecting on their sacrifices and ensuring they are never forgotten.
