Albert "Dutch" Boursmith and George Maurer were instrumental along with 13 other comrades from World War I in forming the post in 1945.

It was necessary to have at least 15 members to obtain a charter. The other members were: Al Cornford, Fred Hein, Joe Diguard, Bert Burley, Bert Camplin, Henry Slick, Jake Oswald, Gar Temple, John Zidnak, Otto Andres, Ernest Edwards and Jean Foret. 10 more members were recruited and added to the Charter.

The charter was presented March 11th, 1945. Thus the Corunna FW Post was born. Most fitting the first commander was Albert "Butch" Boursmith.

The first meetings were held in the old Corunna Hotel, directly across from the Courthouse, this was Kazen's Furniture store that burned down in 1988.

George and Fred papered and fixed up the room used for the meetings. They used the old fireplace for heat and the members all brought a piece of wood for it so they would have heat for the meeting

The Post bought the old water works building from the city of $1.00 and the City gave them the dollar back. The dollar was in the trophy case until it was stolen during a break-in. An addition was added in 1958 and another in 1970. The building was propped up on the east side when the last addition was being built and the vibration from a passing train made it collapse. Some how it was saved.

After World War II many members were added.

The Post sponsored a Boy Scout Troop #77 and Cub Scout Pack #77 for many years. The post held parades through the years for Loyalty Day, Memorial Day (they also go to Vernon with this parade), 4th of July and other special occasions. They also support the VoD and other writing programs for kids. They have performed many Military Funerals and still do. The Post has been praised several times for their Military Funerals. The guys really take pride in doing these. To raise money they started sponsoring a carnival. The members did everything there. They took tickets.

More history will be added soon. Please keep checking back
