The Army Navy and Air Force Veterans Incorporated Association was formed in Stratford on th 25th of May 1937 with 25 Members who had served in the Great War 1914-1918. Meetings at that time were held in the board rooom at City Hall until a decision was made to purchase a permant club room. Money was raised and a home was purchased on the corner of St. Andrews Street. Unfortunately it was destroyed by fire on the 13th of March 1948. Temporary quarters were obtained from the Optimist Club on Water Street and again a committee was formed to raise money and find a permant quarters for the Unit. At this time the former stables of the Hargarty Commercial Hotel at 33 Brunswick Street was for sale and was quickly purchased. With a lot of volunteer labour the building was quickly put into operating condition and became the permanent home of Unit 261until New Years Eve 1980 when a disasterous fire once again destroyed the Unit's club rooms. Once more, the motto, Shoulder to Shoulder, came into effect and with everyone working together to raise funds and assit where possible our club rooms were rebuilt on the same site. In the year 2000 the city approached the Unit to purchase the building for the Festival. So once again a committee was formed. The committee approached the Knights of Columbus as they were looking to sell their building and build a smaller one. On Labour Day weekend August 28 2000 we moved with the overwhelming help and support of the Members. The Ladies Auxiliary also played a big part in this move being succsesful, on May 9 2009 we had a Morgage burning ceremony.The Stratford Unit became InCorperated on June 21, 2005.
