Major General Michael Hood, Deputy Commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force and former Commanding Officer of 8 Wing and 429 Squadron, noted in his speech at the event that the Colour paraded before both former and present members of this proud squadron contained battle honours won proudly, but at great cost. “The initial stand up of 429 Squadron in Eastmore, Yorkshire, on Nov. 7, 1942, was done at the time when the outcome of the conflict was far from assured,” Maj.-Gen. Hood noted. “It was an era when young volunteers would sign up in small town Canada to proudly join the war effort and, within only a few short weeks, would be starting initial air crew training at Royal Canadian air Force (RCAF) Stations like here in Trenton. A few months later, many would find themselves participating in bombing missions over the European continent. Some of 429’s early missions included places such as Cologne, Hamburg and St. Nazaire, cities familiar to many of us today but at that time, tested the courage of another generation when the destination of that night’s bombing mission was first uttered at the daily brief. “With minimum training, often unproven equipment that was in constant development and in the face of a formidable enemy with greater experience, the trailblazers never gave up persevered through those early days against seemingly insurmountable odds. Their courage and dedication is marked on the Colours that parade before us – battle honours won proudly but at tremendous cost.” The valour of the early 429 Bomber Squadron personnel was exemplified by the fact 45 Distinguished Flying Crosses and seven Distinguished Flying continued on page 3 Advertising 2 - The Contact Warm up your savings! 2.2 % 2.65 % * 25 Month S pecial November 9, 2012 Add Style to Any Room Doors with from M A K I N G I N T E R I O R S S P E C TA C U L A R Canada’s Premier Door Supplier! ��� � ���� � ���� � ���� * 49 Month S pecial Door Hardware Now Available At Vanderlaan! ��� � ���� � ���� � ���� A ��������� �������� � ������ ��������� � ������ When Only the Best Will Do! ������������������ ������� ������ � �������������� Trenton ��� ������ ������ ���� � ����� �������� Cobourg � ���� ������ ���� � ����� �������� 613-475-3684 13 Loyalist Dr., Brighton • www.vanderlaanbuildng.com We Remember ������� ������������ �� ������� ���� �� ���������� ����� ��� ��� � ���������� ��� ��� ��� ����� ��� ���� � ������ ��� ���� � ���� ���������� ��� ������ ����� ������������������� NO TAX ZONE News November 9, 2012 The Contact - 3 Photos: Ross Lees (ABOVE-LEFT) Maj.-Gen.

Jason Stark. continued from page 3 medals were awarded during the Second World War, Maj.-Gen. Hood stated. The ceremony of Trooping the Colour is a very formal parade, normally held at least once each year to permit all members of a unit to view their Colours, which symbolize pride, honour and devotion to Sovereign and country. Two elements of the trooping shall always occur, no matter what the circumstances: a. the dispatch of the Escort for the Colour to receive the Colour, symbolizing the removal of the Colour from its lodging and its escort to the battalion; and b. the troop through the ranks in slow time to show the Colour to all members of the battalion. This is the purpose and focal point of the ceremony. Maj.-Gen. Hood explained that while the roots of the trooping of the Colour “…was ;aid by our 17th century ancestors, I believe the ceremony we’ve just witnessed is as important today as it was some 400 years ago.” Trooping the Colour not only allowed the squadron to put on a fantastic parade, but it also allowed squadron members to consider their connection with past squadron achievements, Maj.-Gen. Hood said. “As a former CO of 429, I, like you, am fortunate to have participated in some of the making of 429 Squadron’s history,” he added. “And although the stakes may have been higher some 70 years ago when this great squadron first took flight, it’s the same spirit of excellence and mission accomplishmnet that connects us all to those brave members of 429 Bomber Squadron that first flew operational missions on Jan. 21, 1943. Whether you were a navigator/bomb aimer on the Wellington, a mid-upper gunner on the Halifax, or a flight engineer on the Lancaster, you can rest assured that you share the same values, commitment to your comrades, and love of country as these proud members on parade today.” Maj.-Gen. Hood also felt it was important as Nov. 11 approached to remember the 395 Bisons who made the ultimate sacrifice, the first being on the squadron’s first mis- sion – a Wellington lost on Jan. 21, 1943 and with the last operational loss being a Lancaster on March 31, 1945 in the vicinity of Hamburg. “Those losses represent perhaps the toughest time for the Bison family, but the spirit and dedication of those brave airmen remain instilled on those of us here today – proud of our heritage, but ably taking our own place in the annals of this great squadron, flying Dakotas, Buffaloes, Hercules or indeed the Globemaster – the proud RCAF tradition.” Today’s Bisons are not without their proud service in areas like Bosnia, Rwanda, Afghanistan, Haiti and Libya, Maj.Gen. Hood noted. “You make all of who have been so lucky as to wear the Bison on our sleeve extremely proud,” he said. “I would ask all of you today to take pause to consider your roots, celebrate the excellence that remains a hallmark of your squadron, remain vigilant for the challenges ahead, and remember our motto as you prepare for the next challenge – Fortunae Nihil – ‘Nothing to chance.’” WELCOME TO RIVERSIDE DENTAL CENTRE I am Dr. Robert Rawluk, and we are proud to serve our patients in the Quinte region with gentle, expert, compassionate dental care, just as we have for over 30 years.

James Hudson Tell Me a Story Soldier! By Lt(N) (retired) Melanie Graham A year ago a group of volunteers launched a project called “Afghanistan: A Soldier’s Story” www.afghanistanacanadianstory.ca The objective was to collect the human stories and images of those who served - military, civilian and media, to compile them in a legacy album to share with Canadians. Publication is planned for November 2014. A great deal has been accomplished in the past year. The project has received a generous donation from the Power Workers’ Union (PWU) of Ontario, the same organization that was the principal supporter of the documentary series “The Veterans” http://vimeo.com/channels/theveterans . The CDS, General Walter Natynczyk has written an introduction for the book http://afghanistanacanadianstory.ca/ about/afghanistan-a-soldiers-story-intros-and-champions/ and MGen. Vance has accepted our invitation to serve as the CF Project Champion. Respected military historian, Dr. Jack Granatstein, has agreed to write a historical introduction and the Prime Minister, the Minister of Veterans Affairs Canada and the Royal Canadian Legion have agreed to provide message(s) and/or content. Submissions have trickled in over the past year and I want to thank those who have shared their stories and images. Many who served, however, appear to struggle with the idea, suggesting their stories are either not worth sharing, or too colourful or covert to share. I ask you to think again. Storytelling is a traditional and even ancient means of passing on wisdom and culture, not just a chronicling of Complete professional service to all makes and models, Drive clean test & repair facility, Certifications, Courtesy Shuttle, Mon. to Fri. 276 Front St., Trenton 613-392-2766 key events. Historically, it has been how subsequent generations were inspired and informed, not just with skills and knowledge, but with values and ideals, and a sense of belonging to something greater than themselves. Today, we rely on formalized education along with movies and television to provide the models that will shape our youth, and our leaders of the future. Far too many of us, as a result, have lost the individual art of storytelling. Your stories, simple and unimportant though they might seem to you, are very important. When you share your experiences through storytelling, you are contributing to a powerful individual exchange, and an accumulation and consolidation of priceless knowledge beyond what is formalized in manuals and history books. Your shared narrative builds trust and understanding with your communities and with those who will come to serve after you. Your stories will also help to perpetuate a standard of professional excellence that has, more often than not, been the hallmark of those who have served Canada in the profession of arms before you. So please, if you have a story, an image, or a video clip from your Afghan experience to share, or if you know someone else with an experience to share, please direct them to [email protected] or to [email protected] Your stories and photos are more important than you may realize!

Our military personnel are often called upon to put themselves in harm’s way and the risks to their persons are not just physical but emotional as well. Founded in 2006, Wounded Warriors.ca is a non-profit organization that helps Canadian Forces members - be they full time or reservists – who have been wounded or injured in their service to Canada since 1990. They help find solutions for current and former members of the Canadian Forces where gaps have left them in need. While providing programs to all members of the Canadian Forces who have been wounded or injured, their primary focus is on reservist mental health with a secondary focus on physical health support, and a tertiary focus is on life skills development for all members of the Canadian Forces who have been wounded or injured. In general, their effort is roughly allocated as follows: • 60 per cent of their resources pursue mental health initiatives - especially • for reservists; • 30 per cent to physical health support; and • 10 per cent to the development of life skills. Trenton author Al Birtch has always held a deep respect for those who choose a life of service, whether that be in the military, the police, firefighters or other emergency response careers. Being a resident of Trenton, home to CFB Trenton, the point of repatriation for our soldiers who fell in the line of duty in the Middle East, the risks that military personnel face are never far from mind. It was the Code that service personnel live by that inspired Mr. Birtch to write Code of Honor, and it was the great cause supported by the Wounded Warrior Foundation that was the genesis for forming a partnership to help raise awareness and funding for the great work of the foundation. To this end, Wounded Warriors and Mr. Birtch are pleased to announce that 50 per cent of the net proceeds (allowing only for recovery of printing/production costs) from the sale of Code of Honor will be donated to support the work of the Wounded Warrior Foundation in Canada. Code of Honor is for sale in digital e-book format at www.indieoriginals.com or in paperback by ordering direct from the author at [email protected] Code of Honor tells the story of a close-knit team of former soldiers as they transition from a life in the military, through the private security sector and finally into business for themselves. Ryker and his team had spent their entire careers living by a strict Code of Honor. That Code had seen them through many terrifying ordeals in the Middle East and now into the private security sector and deep in the jungles of Columbia. They are completely isolated and, should the mission not go as planned, off the radar from the formal military establishment’s perspective. Not everyone will return home, and for those who do, life is about to take them in a totally unforeseen direction. Will The Code they have always lived by see them `do the right thing` or will the reality of the situation they face force them down a different path?

In many cases, the same could be said about those addicted to alcohol and/or other drugs. This refers to the “community” of enablers that almost inevitably surrounds each addict. ‘Enabling’ is making alcohol or other drug use possible or easier for the user. The user’s parents or spouse might deny that a problem exists; friends might rationalize the user’s behaviour (e.g., he/she is under a lot of stress right now); co-workers could cover up for the user by fixing mistakes they made as a result of their drug or alcohol use. It could be many things. But what does this mean for the CF? What forms does enabling take in a military context? Covering up is the most prominent form of enabling in the CF. Often, CF members will cover up for their colleagues in a well-intentioned but ill-advised attempt to protect them from discharge or to protect a friendship with the individual. For example, a person may go out at lunch and have two or three beers, but upon their return to work, none of their colleagues or supervisors says anything about it, despite an obvious decline in the member’s job performance (studies show that alcohol/drug use can reduce the user’s productivity by 25%). Although the co-worker and supervisor may think they’re protecting their colleague, they are actually putting them, as well as anybody who works with them (including themselves) in danger. Accidents happen, but they happen much more frequently when drugs or alcohol are involved. In fact, studies show that up to 47% of all people who die in a workplace accident had alcohol in their bloodstreams at the time of the accident. If we wish to send a caring message to our members about alcohol and/ or other drug use problems, we have to start by changing our attitudes and practices in this regard. Covering up for a colleague’s alcohol and/or other drug use, despite good intentions, does not really support the user and can in fact create an unsafe workplace. CF policies regarding alcohol and/or other drug use exist and it is important for us to know what they are and how we can better support a person who has a problem. The best thing you can do for a colleague who may have an alcohol and/or other drug-related problem is to address the issue with a caring attitude and take necessary steps as outlined in the appropriate policies. If you are in a supervisory role, you need to know the policies and the services available. If you are concerned about a colleague, you need to educate yourself on alcohol and/or other drug use. Supervisory training and alcohol and other drugs training is available - check for the course time on your base. The important thing is to act now before it is too late.

Mill Valley Homes Ltd. La complicité au sein des Forces canadiennes N et que nous sachions comment mieux soutenir la personne qui a un problème. Ce que l’on peut faire de mieux pour un collègue qui a un problème de consommation d’alcool ou de drogue, c’est d’aborder la question avec bienveillance et de prendre les mesures nécessaires qui sont décrites dans les politiques pertinentes. Si vous assumez des fonctions de supervision, vous devez connaître les politiques ainsi que les services offerts. Si vous êtes préoccupé par un collègue, vous devez en apprendre sur la consommation abusive d’alcool et des autres drogues. L’on offre de la formation pour les superviseurs ainsi que sur l’alcool et les autres drogues - vérifiez les cours offerts à votre base. L’important, c’est d’agir avant qu’il ne soit trop tard.

Bien souvent, on peut dire la même chose des alcooliques ou des toxicomanes. Je fais référence à la «collectivité» de facilitateurs qui entourent presque inévitablement tous les toxicomanes. “Être complice”, c’est rendre l’alcool ou la drogue plus accessible au consommateur. Les parents ou le conjoint du consommateur peuvent nier l’existence du problème; les amis peuvent rationaliser le comportement du consommateur (p. ex., il subit beaucoup de stress en ce moment); les collègues de travail peuvent couvrir le consommateur en réparant les erreurs qu’il commet par suite de sa consommation de drogue ou d’alcool. La complicité peut prendre bien des formes. Mais qu’en est-il au sein des FC? Quelles sont les formes que prend la complicité dans un contexte militaire? La dissimulation est la forme de complicité la plus répandue dans les FC. Souvent, les militaires vont couvrir leur collègue dans une tentative bien intentionnée mais malavisée de les préserver d’une libération ou pour protéger leur amitié avec l’individu. Par exemple, un militaire peut sortir dîner et prendre deux ou trois bières, mais à son retour au travail, ni ses collègues ni ses superviseurs ne passent de commentaires malgré une chute évidente du rendement du militaire (des études démontrent que la consommation d’alcool ou de drogue peut réduire la productivité de 25 p. 100). Même si les collègues et les superviseurs croient protéger le militaire, ce qu’ils font en réalité, c’est mettre celui-ci et ses collègues de travail (y compris eux-mêmes) en danger. Il y a des accidents qui se produisent beaucoup plus fréquemment lorsque des drogues ou de l’alcool sont en cause. De fait, des études démontrent que jusqu’à 47 p. 100 des gens qui meurent au travail avaient de l’alcool dans le sang au moment de l’accident. Si nous voulons envoyer un message bienveillant à nos militaires concernant les problèmes de consommation d’alcool et de drogue, nous devons commencer par changer notre attitude et nos pratiques en la matière. Dissimuler la consommation d’alcool ou de drogue d’un collègue, malgré de bonnes intentions, ne l’aide nullement et, de fait, peut créer un milieu de travail non sécuritaire.

With a population of just over seven million, over 600,000 Canadians enlisted, with 66,000 paying the supreme sacrifice. Overall, it is estimated there were 16 million deaths during the conflict which stretched from August 1914 to November 1918, and in the years after the war ended as a result of wounds on the battlefield. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission looks after graves of the fallen from both the First and Second World Wars, commemorated in cemeteries and memorials at 23,000 locations, in 153 countries around the world. This includes local cemeteries in places such as Trenton, Belleville, Picton, Brighton, and Foxboro. The poppy was first used as the symbol of remembrance in 1921. The Royal Canadian Legion, the guardians of remembrance since their inception in 1926, note that the connection between poppies and European warfare pre-dates 1914. The association of the Poppy to those who had been killed in war has existed since the Napoleonic Wars in the 19th century, over 110 years before being adopted in Canada. There exists a record from that time of how thickly Poppies grew over the graves of soldiers in the area of Flanders, France. This early connection between the Poppy and battlefield deaths described how fields that were barren before the battles exploded with the blood-red flowers after the fighting ended. Just prior to the First World War, few Poppies grew in Flanders. During the tremendous bombardments of that war, the chalk soils became rich in lime from rubble, allowing “popaver rhoes” to thrive. When the war ended, the lime was quickly absorbed and the Poppy began to disappear again. The personnel of 8 Wing/CFB Trenton disperse throughout the region to help communities large and small commemorate Remembrance Day. A list of the various locations where units send personnel is located below. Most veterans organizations, such as Royal Canadian Legion Branches, Air Force Association of Canada Wings, and Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans in Canada Units host post-parade receptions where everyone is invited to come, visit, and meet veterans, service personnel and local dignitaries. 2 Air Mov Sqn Stirling 8 ACCS Warkworth WCE Picton 8AMS Belleville 8 Wg personnel Trenton WLEO(WTISS) Hastings & Norwood 424 Sqn Madoc 426 Sqn/CJIRU Frankford 436 Sqn Marmora 429 Sqn Colborne & Lethbridge 437 Sqn Cobourg ATESS Brighton CFLAWC Campbellford & Desoronto WLEO(EME) Consecon WSAMPO Wellington CFPU Castleton TRSET/DRTSET Peterborough I Proud to Salute the Men and Women of Our Military 220 Dundas Street East Belleville, ON K8N 1E3 phone | 613 • 969 • 8822 fax | 613 • 969 • 7774 DR.

Announcement Le personnel de la 8e Escadre se souvient l y a quatre‑vingt‑treize ans, le premier jour du Souvenir a été célébré en l’honneur des personnes qui ont donné leur vie durant la Première Guerre mondiale. À l’époque, le Canada comptait un peu plus de sept millions d’habitants. Plus de 600 000 citoyens canadiens se sont enrôlés et 66 000 d’entre eux ont fait l’ultime sacrifice. Dans l’ensemble, environ 16 millions de personnes sont décédées durant ce conflit (d’août 1914 à novembre 1918) et dans les années qui ont suivi, en raison de blessures sur le champ de bataille. La Commonwealth War Graves Commission s’occupe des sépultures des disparus des Première et Seconde Guerres mondiales. Leur sacrifice est commémoré dans les cimetières et mémoriaux à 23 000 endroits dans 153 pays, dont les cimetières plus près de nous de Trenton, Belleville, Picton, Brighton et Foxboro.

Canadians from across our country served on land, on the sea and in the air. Our nation – a mere eight million – mobilized over 600,000 into uniform. Our Air Force was barely in existence when the First World War ended in 1918, although we made great contributions to the air war. Base Borden served as the home of training for the Royal Flying Corps, and Canadians served in the Royal Flying Corps, Royal Naval Air Service, and Royal Air Force. Three Canadians were recipients of the Victoria Cross – Billy Bishop, Billy Barker and Alan MacLeod. While McLeod died just after war’s end, Barker and Bishop made great contributions to the Air Force of today. Barker served as the first Director of the Royal Canadian Air Force when it was created in 1924. Billy Bishop, the first Canadian airman to receive the VC, served as Director of the Canadian Air Force at the end of the First World War and then was head of recruiting during the Second World War. When war broke out again in September 1939, our Air Force was a mere 4,000 personnel. By the end of hostilities in 1945, the RCAF was the fourth largest air power amongst the Allies. Over 200,000 personnel served in a variety of operational squadrons as well as in maintenance and support roles. Our six operational Squadrons here at 8 Wing all carry Battle Honours from the Second World War, recognizing the service of their personnel over England, France, Germany, Italy, Burma, and even in the Gulf War. Trenton, a small base not even a decade old, served as a principal training facility for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, which helped prepare 130,000 aircrew from Canada and around the world for service in air forces of various nations. Sincere Gratitude to all the Veterans Thank You Today, the RCAF continues to serve at home and around the world, in support of missions such as Operation ATTENTION in Afghanistan, Operation NANOOK in the north, or in flying goods in and out of Canadian Forces Station Alert. We continue to serve with the same pride as our predecessors – while remembering their service, commitment, and sacrifice. On November 11, we stop and remember those who fell in conflict – the 66,000 from the First World War, the 42,000 from the Second World War, the 516 who died during the Korean War, along with hundreds of Canadian military personnel who died during peacekeeping operations around the world, including the 158 who died while serving in Afghanistan, and Sgt Janick Gilbert, who gave his life so that others may live. This Remembrance Day will carry a special significance for the families of the Afghanistan fallen as the City of Quinte West unveils and dedicates a new memorial, located in Bain Park. The Afghanistan Repatriation Memorial will stand as a symbol of the pride of the community while commemorating those who began their journey along the Highway of Heroes here at 8 Wing. Those two minutes of silence at 11:00 A.M. on November 11 serve to remind us of those who served and died, those who continue to serve, and those who will have the honour of serving our country in the future. The dedication and commitment of military members and their families have helped shape our future. As you consider what it means to serve, think of the men and women over the past 200 years who overcame great obstacles to fight for the freedom we all enjoy today. Remember the thousands, the tens of thousands and the hundreds of thousands who have served in the defence of Canada and in the defence of peace around the world. And remember their fighting spirit, their courage, and their loved ones. . u o kY Now Serving Seniors n a h T Capt.

November 9, 2012 Photos: Ross Lees Honorary Colonel Sherwin helped with the Great Escape Students learn firsthand about this historic escape attempt by air crew POWs By Ross Lees S ome local school students were given the chance of a lifetime on Nov. 2 to hear firsthand about the Great Escape. Honorary Colonel Arthur Sherwin, a man who survived Stalag Luft III, the main air crew officers’ Prisoner of War (POW) camp in Germany, took part in the famous escape later the subject of the 1963 Hollywood movie entitled The Great Escape, starring such luminaries as Steve McQueen, James Garner, and Charles Bronson. Hon. Col. Sherwin was the guest speaker at a National Air Force Museum of Canada educational program event on The Great Escape and held the student spellbound for over an hour as he recounted the POW’s experiences during their stay at Stalag Luft III. Stalag Luft III contained only about 2,000 POWs when Hon. Col. Sherwin arrived there after being shot down on April 19, 1943 on his 20th birthday. Slightly higher gusting winds would have propelled him back into the British lines, but instead he fell about 400 yards behind enemy lines practically on top of a German mortar post. Hon. Col. Sherwin readily recalls the first words he heard from his enemy captors. “For you, the war is over,” they said as they helped him out of his parachute and into their custody. Days later, he landed in Stalag Luft III, which eventually held 10,000 air crew prisoners of war from Canada, Britain, the United States, Australia and South Africa, and all other allied nations except Russia, according to Hon. Col. Sherwin. “There were 200 Canadian officers there when I arrived and their average age was 22,” the soon-to-be 90-year-old recalls. According to Hon. Col. Sherwin, Stalag Luft III - run by the Luftwaffe (the German Air Force) - covered around 16 acres, was surrounded by five miles of fences, and was comprised of four compounds, two of which contained U.S. flyers. His talk concerned the north compound within which the three Great Escape tunnels – nicknamed Tom, Dick and Harry - were dug. “On arrival, you were assigned to a room with seven or eight other prisoners,” he recalls. “Living with a group of men in a relatively small room often created impossible conflicts of personality, therefore a provision was made so that you could change rooms. I changed rooms three times. I could never figure out who was incompatible – them or me,” he told the students. ��� ���� �� ������ ���� ��������� The staff of QuintEssential Credit Union in Belleville and Trenton honour the men and women who fought for freedom and democracy everywhere. ����� ���� �������� ��� ������� �� ������� ’S LIE Y M S We at Smylie’s Independent will remember all of our Fallen Comrades.

Tasks assigned could include tailoring to convert uniforms to civilian clothes, artists who produced forged travel documents for escapees on trains, people with mining experience to do the digging of the tunnels, etc. “So no matter what personality or craft we needed, there were always a few people in the camp who had the experience or knowledge in that particular area of need,” he stated. “For instance, our radio on which we received BBC news every day giving us up-to-date information on the progress of the war was made from previously bribed tame guards who brought it in, in exchange for cigarettes and chocolate. The Germans knew we had a radio but were never able to find it.” In fact, as time progressed, the German guards would often try to get information from the prisoners about how the war was progressing as they by then did not trust what was written in their own newspapers, Hon. Col Sherwin stated. The main escape project at the time was the simultaneous construction of the three tunnels, each started in a different hut. The tunnels were to be built at a depth of 30 feet to avoid microphones buried by the Germans at a depth of eight feet all the way around the perimeter fence. Also at that depth, the tunnels would not collapse if a heavy truck was driven over it, something the Germans did on occasion. There were two major problems with the tunnels, according to Hon. Col. Sherwin: getting the wood to shore up the tunnels and disposing of the yellow sand dug from the tunnels. Slats from the POW beds and rafters from the huts were used to shore up the tunnels although they always had to be careful not to take out too many slats or rafters so that the beds or huts would collapse. Sand was removed in bags hung around the necks of the POWs and inserted in their trouser legs, then slowly released in the compound grounds and quickly tramped into the existing dirt. Hon. Col. Sherwin was responsible for getting rid of the dirt, using his penguins, so named because of the way the men walked with the bags of sand hanging down their pant legs. “You can imagine how long it would take to get rid of 200 tonnes of dirt,” he commented to the students. The German guards were always looking for tunnels and eventually accidentally discovered Tom. The POWs were instructed to act dejected about the loss of their tunnel and they did abandon Dick at that time to use it to store the dirt from Harry. “So for the remainder of 1943, we worked hard to get the tunnel completed by early 1944,” he stated, adding at the same time all isolated escape attempts were carried out. The most successful involved 26 men walking out the front gate. Two fluently German speaking POWs were chosen and their uniforms converted to German uniforms and, with very real looking work visas, they walked out the gates and van- Need some advice on what to do with your severance?

Unfortunately, however, all were eventually recaptured within a couple of weeks. In another effort to disrupt tunnel digging, the Germans one day nabbed 19 POWs and moved them to another camp many miles away. Many of those men they moved were involved in the tunnel construction, but the construction continued apace and was ready by late March 1944. Travel documents and work permits were also prepared, and compasses and maps were supplied to those going across country. Optimistically, the POWs estimated they would be able to get well over 200 men out through the tunnel during the night, but they had failed to recognize how difficult it would be to bring men up a 30 foot climb to get out of the tunnel and, when they finally did breach the ground, they were 15 feet short of the woods. Seventy-six men made it out of the tunnel but then, unpredictably, a guard who normally walked on the other side road decided to come across and walk on the tunnel side. “He nearly fell in our tunnel and that was the end of it,” Hon. Col Sherwin noted. “All hell broke loose, of course.” Of the 76 who escaped, only three made it back to England. Of the 73 recaptured, 50, including six Canadians, were murdered by the Gestapo. Those who remained in camp were warned that any subsequent escapees recaptured would be shot. When the Russians started their winter offensive in 1945, they came within 50 miles of the German POW camp. When they finally did take over the camp, the POWs had been moved, with the Germans thinking 10,000 POWs would make good hostages. Forced to march and then loaded onto a train in below freezing temperatures, the men were transferred 400 miles across Germany and then forced to march again for several weeks. During that time, they were twice strafed by friendly aircraft who thought they were Germans. One day, the Luftwaffe guards disappeared and were replaced by a group of tough German soldiers. It was later learned the soldiers were under instructions to kill the POWs if they did not make the River Elbe by the following day, something virtually impossible to do. But a talk with the guards by the highest ranking officer noting the guards’ life expectancy might not be good if they followed through with those instructions had surprising results. The next morning, all of the guards had disappeared. Eventually found by French units of the British army on May 3, 1945, the POWs were quickly flown back to Britain to a reception unit where they were interrogated, given a medical exam then fitted with new uniforms. “We were given a month’s leave, a new rail ticket and a pile of money and then we were free to leave,” Hon. Col. Sherwin recalled. “Of course, if they hadn’t released us then, we’d probably have dug another tunnel,” he stated to the students with a twinkle in his eyes.

Photo: Ross Lees continued from page 11 Lt.-Col. Perrault noted it was also good to see some Air Cadets accompanying the veterans throughout the day. “It is very important that we continue to develop that bond between veterans and youth,” he said. “The youth are going to be the ones who carry on those traditions, those memories, and share those stories. So hopefully they get an opportunity to meet and talk with you over the next few hours and share those stories.” Lt.-Col. Perrault also thanked the veterans for their involvement in both the Air Force Association and the Legion, acknowledging the important roles they play in advocating for veterans as well as those presently serving in the military. “Please continue these important roles,” he implored. “We don’t speak on our own behalf and we need those voices out there to raise awareness, especially as we have fewer and fewer veterans from previous conflicts. It’s very important to take care of those people and recognize everything they’ve given for us and to allow us to have everything we have today.” The CO of the training squadron hoped the veterans would enjoy their experience on the simulator, but he advised them they would not be qualified by the squadron based on their performance on that one flight. “Even if you do very, very well, we probably won’t let you in the airplane anyway,” he remarked to the great delight of the visitors. The veterans did have fun as they took turns flying and landing the simulator. “It was just fantastic,” said Jeannette Etter, who attended with her husband Raymond. Terry Lynch, a retired Chief Petty Officer, also said he really enjoyed the chance to get back in the pilot’s seat. He had actually flown aircraft off the Canadian aircraft carrier HMCS Bonaventure.

Des Canadiens originaires de tous les coins de notre pays ont servi sur terre, en mer et dans les airs. Parmi notre population, composée d’à peine huit millions d’habitants, 600 000 personnes se sont enrôlées. La Force aérienne du Canada en était à ses balbutiements à la fin de la Première Guerre mondiale, en 1918; néanmoins, nous avons largement contribué à la guerre aérienne. C’est à la Base de Borden que les membres du Royal Flying Corps s’entraînaient, et des Canadiens ont fait partie du Royal Flying Corps, du Royal Naval Air Service et de la Royal Air Force. Trois Canadiens ont été décorés de la Croix de Victoria (VC), soit Billy Bishop, Billy Barker et Alan MacLeod. McLeod est décédé tout juste après la guerre, mais Barker et Bishop ont joué un rôle important dans le développement de la Force aérienne actuelle. Barker a occupé le premier la fonction de directeur de l’Aviation royale du Canada (ARC), lors de sa création en 1924. Quant à Billy Bishop, premier aviateur canadien à recevoir la VC, il a été directeur de l’Aviation canadienne à la fin de la Première Guerre mondiale, puis chef du recrutement pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Lorsque la guerre a éclaté de nouveau, en septembre 1939, notre force aérienne comptait à peine 4 000 membres. En 1945, à la fin des hostilités, l’ARC constituait la quatrième plus importante puissance aérienne parmi les Alliés. Plus de 200 000 militaires ont servi dans divers escadrons opérationnels ainsi que dans des équipes de maintenance et de soutien. Les six escadrons opérationnels de la 8e Escadre portent les honneurs de guerre qu’ils ont remportés en reconnaissance des services rendus par leurs membres au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale en Angleterre, en France, en Allemagne, en Italie et en Birmanie (et aussi pendant la guerre du Golfe). À cette époque, Trenton était une petite base qui n’avait pas encore dix ans. Elle a néanmoins été choisie comme principale installation du Programme d’entraînement aérien du Commonwealth, lequel a permis à 130 000 aviateurs du Canada, et de partout dans le monde, de se préparer à servir dans les forces aériennes de différents pays. De nos jours, l’ARC poursuit son travail au pays et à l’étranger et appuie des missions telles que l’opération Attention en Afghanistan et l’opération Nanook dans le Nord ou le transport aérien de marchandises vers la Station des Forces canadiennes Alert. La même fierté que nos prédécesseurs nous anime, et nous gardons bien vivant le souvenir de leur service, de leur engagement et de leur sacrifice. Le 11 novembre, prenons le temps de nous arrêter et de nous souvenir de ceux qui sont tombés au combat, dont les 66 000 morts de la Première Guerre mondiale, les 42 000 de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les 516 de la guerre de Corée ainsi que les centaines de militaires canadiens morts au cours des opérations de maintien de la paix à l’échelle de la planète, notamment les 158 militaires morts en Afghanistan. N’oublions pas non plus le Sgt Janick Gilbert, qui a sacrifié sa vie pour celle d’autres personnes. Le jour du Souvenir revêtira cette année une signification toute particulière pour les familles des militaires morts en Afghanistan puisque la ville de Quinte West dévoilera et inaugurera un monument commémoratif situé au parc Bain. Le monument commémoratif dédié aux soldats disparus en Afghanistan symbolisera la fierté de la communauté et honorera la mémoire de ceux qui ont entamé leur voyage le long de l’autoroute des héros, ici même à la 8e Escadre. Nous profiterons des deux minutes de silence observées à 11 h le 11 novembre pour rendre hommage aux militaires qui ont servi et donné leur vie, à ceux qui continuent de servir et à ceux qui auront l’honneur de servir notre pays à l’avenir. Le dévouement et la détermination des militaires et de leurs familles ont contribué à façonner notre avenir. Et, en réfléchissant à ce que signifie servir, songez aux hommes et aux femmes qui, au cours des 200 dernières années, ont surmonté de grands obstacles pour préserver la liberté dont nous jouissons aujourd’hui. Rappelez‑vous les milliers, les dizaines de milliers et les centaines de milliers de personnes qui ont défendu le Canada et la paix dans le monde. Souvenez‑vous de leur esprit combatif et de leur courage. Finalement, ayez une pensée pour leurs proches. “We Must Never Forget Those Who Made the Ultimate Sacrifice” We do more than provide insurance. We’re your neighbours. The Contact - 15 1.

Preparing your vehicle to handle the road is the first step to safe driving. These are some of the factors, which add hazards to driving in the winter: • Ice, snow and even water on road surfaces reduce traction, increasing stopping distance and possibly resulting in a skid. It takes more distance to stop on an icy road than it does on a dry road. • As the temperature rises to near the melting point, roads become even more slippery than they are in severely cold weather. Traffic also polishes ice and snow pack on a road surface. • Black ice is a thin and invisible layer of frost on pavement. It commonly occurs around bridges and overpasses and shaded areas, but be alert for it on all road surfaces. • Water, which may be mixed with oil on the road surface can be hazardous. Tires begin to lose contact with the road surface, slipping across the surface of the water and oil instead. • Visibility decreases drastically in winter driving conditions. Long nights and short days in some areas mean you spend more hours behind the wheel when you can see little beyond your headlights. Snow, rain and fog also cut visibility. Vehicle breakdown under winter conditions can be life threatening because of freezing weather and the possibility of chain reaction collisions. Here is a suggested pre-winter checklist for all kinds of motor vehicles: • Radiator and heater hoses should be in good condition, free of cracks and leaks. • Fan belts should be checked too. • The heater should be working well, for your own comfort and to defrost and defog the windshield. • Start the winter with a new set of wiper blades. • Equip your vehicle with an ice scraper and a snow-brush. • Change to a winter coolant, which won’t freeze. • • • • • • • • • • • Use a winter windshield washer fluid, which won’t freeze, and keep it topped up. Check all vehicle fluids including power steering fluid and brake fluid. Make sure the battery is in good condition for starting the vehicle in cold weather. Your tires should have good tread to provide traction. Examine all lights, headlights on high and low beam, running lights, taillights and brake lights. Inspect brake systems to determine if they will provide uniform braking on all wheels. Muffler and exhaust systems must be examined to make sure they are not leaking. Carbon monoxide poisoning is a deadly hazard for occupants of motor vehicles. Lubrication should be of winter weight for use in lower temperatures. This includes lubrication of the fifth wheel. Carry a winter survival kit, especially on long trips or in isolated areas. Include matches and a candle, a parka and sleeping bag or emergency blanket, food, first aid kit, jumper cables with safety goggles, gasoline antifreeze, fuel conditioner for diesel fuel, wrenches for minor repairs, a spare fan belt and radiator hose, spare spark plugs and spark plug wire. It is important to have a working knowledge of basic vehicle repairs so you know what to do in case of a breakdown, in any season. Arm yourself against winter driving hazards. Examine your vehicle for defects, and equip it to handle winter driving conditions.
