Ernest’s name has been inscribed on the Hamilton Municipal District Roll of Honor and the Hamilton (Gregson Park) War Memorial.
I located Mr Muller resting in an unmarked grave, forgotten, so December 2018 I placed a cross adorned with poppies on the gravesite, taken a photo of the grave and uploaded the photo onto the Northern Cemetery website as a permanent record of his service.
