Church of Our Lady of Peace, Niagara (LOC)

  "During the Mexican Revolution the United States, fearing for its interest in the Gulf of Mexico, captured the port of Vera Cruz during April, 1914. This act placed the two countries at the brink of war, creating a considerable amount of international tension. Agentina, Brazil and Chile offered to mediate the dispute and their offer was accepted by the Mexican and American governments. Niagara Falls was selected as the location for the peace conference, with the meetings taking place at the Clifton House Hotel, now the site of Oakes Garden Theatre. The talks began on May 20. After about a month, an agreement was reached that averted a war between Mexico and the United States. However, Mexico's internal strife continued. On Sunday, May 24, shortly after the conference had opened, all the delegates and their families, along with many local residents and members of the press, attended a special peace mass at Our Lady of Peace. It was a proud and significant day for Our Lady of Peace." carmelnet.org/olp/olp.htm

  Now would they have gone on to be line officers? Or served in the administration of military justice?

• Archives of the Law Society of Ontario said:

  That is a very good question. I suspect some were in military justice positions.
