This project initially started out as my personal tribute dedicated to my father, Captain R. E. Crawford, who served with the SAR and later with the R.C.A.F. This website has evolved from that TRIBUTE PAGE and is my way of honouring both my father and the men of the SAR.Two close friends of mine have been instrumental in developing this site. Jack Porter is a SAR Veteran who served with the SAR during the war. Jack worked long and hard at developing a set of 'Memorial Books' which the three outstanding slide shows on this site are based on. Our friend Ben McDougall provided the much needed technical assistance. The 3 Power-point slide shows (complete with music) were developed as a way of showing tribute to the men of the SAR as well as the Picture Book Pages showing SAR members, mostly during the War.

"We can truly say that the whole circuit
of the earth is girdled with the graves of our dead... and, in the course of my
pilgrimage, I have many times asked myself whether there can be more potent
advocates of peace upon earth through the years to come, than this massed
multitude of silent witnesses to the desolation of war."
King George V, Flanders, 1922
