Hello George in England, In my book, "Winnipeg 100, Winnipeg Free Press, 100 Year Pictorial History of Winnipeg" compiled by Edith Paterson on page 91 it says, "The cenotaph on Memorial Boulevard honors members of the Armed Forces who lost who lost their lives in the First World War, but the contest for the best memorial design almost started a war in Winnipeg. Winner of the first contest in 1926 was Emmanuel Hahn, but indignant groups of citizens vehemently protested because he had been born in Germany. A second contest was won by a Canadain-born woman sculptor, Elizabeth Wood of Toronto. But she happened to be the wife of Emmanuel Hahn and citizens rejected her work too. Mr. and Mrs. Hahn each received their $500 prizes and English-born Gilbert Parfitt of Winnipeg was commissioned to design the cenotaph that stands today. He later became Manitoba's provincial architect. The memorial was unveiled Nov. 7, 1928."

Hello Bill, There is a Winnipeg Fire Museum web site at http://www.winnipegfiremuseum.ca/ that has some interesting history on it. You could email them. If anyone had a list it would be them. Another Winnipeg firefighters web site is http://www.mts.net/~uffw/ that has history of firefighting. Also a book "Alarm of Fire: 100 Years of Firefighting in Winnipeg 1882-1982. Author is Vince Leah. ISBN 0969113706. I found it for sale on BarnesandNoble.com in the out of print section. I have no idea if there are names of firefighters that lost their lives in the line of duty in that book.
