Mrs. Niki Psiharis
has been named the
National
Memorial
(Silver) Cross Mother for
2013-2014.
Mrs.
Psiharis
lives in Laval, Québec.
She is the sixth mother
from Québec to be
named as the National
Memorial (Silver) Cross
Mother since the Legion
began this tradition
more than sixty years
ago.
Mrs. Psiharis lost
her youngest son, Sgt
Chris Karigiannis, when
an improvised explosive
device struck his vehicle
approximately
40km
west of Kandahar City,
Afghanistan on 20 June
2007 – less than two
months from his scheduled return home in
August. Two fellow soldiers were
also killed.
As the National Memorial
(Silver) Cross Mother, Mrs. Psiharis
will lay a wreath at the National War
Memorial on 11 November 2013 on
behalf of all Canadian mothers who
have lost a son or a daughter in the
military either in action or in the
course of his/her normal duty.
The Bugle
Mrs. Psiharis’ other sons Peter
and Spiro will be at the ceremony.
Mrs. Psiharis was born in a
small village of less than 200 people
outside of Kalamata, Greece. She
married at the age of 18 to Mr. Anastasios Karigiannis and the two emigrated together to Montréal, Québec
in 1968. Her husband passed away
from cancer in 1990, leaving her to
raise three teenage sons on her own.

fields of battle, and during the
course of their service to our country.
Those who died did not get a

with their demons, whether physical

Every day should be Remembrance Day. Every day we should

Why Remember?
We must remember. If we do
not, the sacrifice of those one hundred thousand Canadian lives will be
meaningless. They died for us, for
their homes and families and friends,
for a collection of traditions they
cherished and a future they believed
in; they died for Canada. The meaning of their sacrifice rests with our
collective national consciousness;
our future is their monument.
At left, a Canadian soldier kneels at

Yet for many of us, war is a
phenomenon seen through the lens
of a television camera or a journalist's account of fighting in distant
parts of the world. Our closest physical and emotional experience may be
the discovery of wartime memorabilia in a family attic. But even items
such as photographs, uniform
badges, medals, and diaries can
seem vague and unconnected to the
life of their owner. For those of us
born during peacetime, all wars
seem far removed from our daily
lives.
We often take for granted our

These wars touched the lives
of Canadians of all ages, all races, all
social classes. Fathers, sons, daughters, sweethearts: they were killed in
action, they were wounded, and
thousands who returned were forced
to live the rest of their lives with the
physical and mental scars of war. The
people who stayed in Canada also
served—in factories, in voluntary
service organizations, wherever they
were needed.

by far for the United Nations Command suffered 103,284 wounded,
54,236 deaths including 33,629 killed
in combat and 8,177 missing in action.
Canada's casualties totalled
1,558 including 516 who died. The
total number of UN Forces (including
South Korea) killed, wounded or
missing was 996,937.
On Sunday, the 25th of June,
1950, 135,000 troops of the North
Korean People’s Army slogged south
through pre-dawn darkness and the
wetness of oncoming monsoon rains.
The main invasion thrust was
through the Ch’orwon Valley, across
the 38th parallel to the Ouijongbu
corridor, the direct route to Seoul,
capital of the Republic of Korea
(South Korea).
Korea, the Land of the Morning Calm, was now the crucible which
turned the Cold War hot.
By the time the civil war of
the Koreas had halted, six million of
their countrymen--civilian and military personnel--had perished. Nearly
half a million Communist Chinese
comrades-in-arms of the North Koreans, soldiers of the People’s Liberation Army, were killed in action. To
add to the bloodbath: The Americans

ORIGINS OF THE WAR
Following the end of hostilities in Europe during the Second
World War, focus shifted to the Pacific. United States military planners
expected a difficult campaign to
drive the Japanese out of the Asian
mainland and to invade Japan. The
American State Department successfully appealed to the Soviet Union for
help--that is, declare war against
Japan. The deal was closed at the
Allied conferences at Yalta and Potsdam in 1945.
After the atomic bombings of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the subsequent unconditional surrender of
Japan, American concern shifted to
the Soviets, who were rapidly advancing through Manchuria and into
Korea.
The U.S. suggested a division
of the Korean peninsula. The Soviet
Union decided that seizing all of Korea was not worth the inherent risks;

be.
In 1994, many secret documents of the former Soviet Foreign
Ministry were declassified. In June of
that year, Russian President Boris
Yeltsin presented high-level documents on the Korean War to President Kim Young-sam of South Korea. The documents revealed that
in September 1949, the Politburo
of the Soviet Communist Party rejected an appeal from North Korean President Kim Il-Sung to assist
in an invasion of the South. In April
1950 Soviet Premier Josef Stalin
reversed that decision, believing
that the invasion was a low-risk
operation that could be successfully completed before the U.S.
could intervene.
The documents also revealed that to avoid sending their

President Harry Truman ordered U.S.
troops into action under the banner
of the United Nations. 15 other
countries including Canada rallied to
the call for fighting forces to aid the
beleaguered Republic of Korea Army.
Five other nations offered assistance,
but for political expediency opted to
supply medical services rather than
send their citizens into combat roles.
Initially the North Korean invaders enjoyed success. Three days
after crossing the 38th, they captured Seoul and by early August were
approaching the southern port city of
Pusan.
The Americans were the first
on the ground to support the understrength,
poorly-equipped
ROK
Army. Fierce battles took place in
August and September 1950 to hold
a perimeter around Pusan.
Then on 15 September, General MacArthur, Commander, UN
forces, launched a brilliant military
maneuver by landing seaborne invasion troops at the west coast port
city of Inchon. By the end of the
month the UN captured Seoul, cut
off many North Koreans in the south
then pushed north as far as the Yalu
river bordering Manchuria. In October, Chinese Communist Forces

CANADIANS IN ACTION
On 30 July 1950, three Canadian destroyers: Cayuga, Athabaskan
and Sioux arrived in Sasebo, Japan,
under orders to sail for Korean waters, the first Canadians to see action
in Korea. Five other destroyers, Crusader, Huron, Iroquois, Nootka,
Haida, served under UN Command
during the war. Also in July, No. 426
Transport Squadron, Royal Canadian
Air Force, flew the first of 600 round
trips to the Far East during the war,
carrying more than 13,000 passengers and 3,000,000 kilograms of
freight. In addition, twenty-two RCAF
fighter pilots and a number of technical officers were attached to the U.S.
Fifth Air Force in Korea.
Tragedy struck Canadian
troops early--even before arriving in
Korea--when 17 gunners of the Royal
Canadian Horse Artillery were killed
when a passenger and a troop train
crashed head-on at Canoe River, B.C.
on 21 November 1950. (Like many
events of the Korean War, the memory of this tragic event was buried
until a cairn was erected and dedicated on 12 May 1990.)

South Korea, which arose
from the ashes of war to become
one of the leaders of the industrialized world, provides its citizens with
the amenities of a modern society. In
contrast, their brethren to the north
in the dull grey world of founder, Kim
Il-Sung and his son successor, Kim
Jong-Il, live in poverty, repression
and conditions of frequent starvation. The salvation of the Republic of
Korea from the latter is coupled with
the knowledge that the free world as

the war ended in a stalemate, it was
a victory for the UN inasmuch as it
preserved the democratic rights of
South Korea and sent a strong message to the Soviet Union: Free nations of the world are prepared to
stand and fight for those freedoms.
Korea was aptly called The
Forgotten War.
For decades the media ignored it. For the most part, reference
to the war was buried in archives, to
occasionally arise as a footnote to
history and most frequently referred
to as the Korean "conflict." This lack
of recognition is exemplified in this
example: In 1975 the Calgary Herald
published a four-part history of Calgary to celebrate the city’s centennial. Calgary’s military connections in
the First and Second World Wars
were covered extensively. The Korean War was not even mentioned,
despite the fact that the first Canadian infantry unit in action in Korea
was from Calgary – the Second Battalion PPCLI.
The formation of Korean War
veterans’ organizations in a number
of countries, including the founding
of the Korea Veterans Association of
Canada in 1974, have provided the
impetus for recognition. The dedication of national monuments such as

years ago and the one Canadian soldier who survived.
Debbie Kakagamic watched the tribute with her teenage son Walker
and dozens of other Canadians commemorating the anniversary of the April
22-26, 1951 Battle of Gapyeong, thinking of her father, Archibald Lloyd
Hearsey, who survived it.
“He had a big framed picture of Gapyeong in his room,” she recalled. “I
thought of him looking at the photo today.”
Six months later, Hearsey would survive another battle on Hill #187 in
Yeoncheon County, Gyeonggi, north of Gapyeong. That would be the day of
his greatest tragedy. Stumbling into the battle, he discovered that his older
brother Joseph William Hearsey had enlisted, been shipped to Korea, and was
fighting alongside him.
Joseph would die on Hill #187 - in his younger brother’s arms.
The group of visiting Canadians have brought the ashes of Archibald,
who died last June, to be reunited with the remains of his brother Joseph.
They are the first two foreign siblings who fought together in the Korean War
to be reunited in this way. Archibald left a will asking his family to try to make
it happen.
Their story is one of brotherly love that survived death.

Forces on Sept. 5, 1950. His Princess Patricia Light Infantry 2nd Battalion was
sent to the Korean War the following February.
According to the families and those who knew the brothers, Joseph,
who was one year older than Archibald, became concerned about the safety
of his younger sibling. Without informing him, Joseph quit his job at Canadian
Pacific Rail to join the same battalion as his younger brother on Jan. 6, 1951,
and was sent to Korea in July 1951.
Continuous fighting kept the brothers from communicating with each
other over the following months, and Archibald was never informed that his
older sibling was fighting with him in the same battalion, said friends of the
family.
In October 1951, a battle took place on Hill #187 and Joseph was assigned to a defensive position in a foxhole that his brother was originally supposed to occupy, those with knowledge said. The battle lurched on for several days, and on Oct. 13, 1951, Archibald was reassigned to the front line.
When he arrived, soldiers started shouting to him, “Your brother is here!” It
was the first time he realized his sibling was in Korea.
He followed the voices to the foxhole where he found Joseph dying
from a shot through the right shoulder, family members said. Archibald held
Joseph in his arms and watched as his brother’s life ebbed away.
His last view of his brother was of his body wrapped in a groundcloth
being dragged away, a memory that plagued him until he died last June, Kakagamic said.
“He suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, and every night
when he was going to bed, he relived the moment his brother died,” she said.
“His hands used to be black and blue, like he was fighting in his sleep, hitting
the wall. He hardly slept because every time he tried, he would see those visions.”
The Kakagamics came to Korea on Sunday to fulfill Archibald’s last wish
at the United Nations Memorial Cemetery today, where his brother’s remains
have rested since Oct. 27, 1951, two weeks after he died in battle. The Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs and the Canadian Embassy in Seoul are set
to host a memorial service and a joint burial event.
“I am happy we are doing this for him,” said Archibald’s grandson
Walker. “It’s going to be sad to leave him here, but it’s what he wanted.”

ther’s wish. Joseph Hearsey was one of 516 Canadian soldiers who died during
the three-year-long war, which produced around two million to three million
casualties.
“It was our forgotten war, but men and women who served here, they
knew it otherwise, as do we,” said David Chatterson, Canada’s ambassador to
Seoul, at the memorial service in Gapyeong yesterday.
Park Sung-choon, minister of Patriots and Veterans Affairs, said Korea
will always appreciate those who sacrificed themselves. “Gapyeong, which
was demolished by shellfire 60 years ago, has been transformed into a peaceful place,” he said. “One thing, however, has not changed: our respect and
appreciation for your dedication and service.”
Donald Coultas, one of the 50 Canadian Korean War veterans who is in
the memorial delegation, said he is aware of North Korea’s continuous threats
toward the South. But, he said, their service during the Korean War drew a
line that the North wouldn’t pass over again.

Vimy tour gives hope
to Canadian veterans
A group of Canadian soldiers,
struggling with post traumatic stress,
paid a moving visit to Vimy Ridge on
Sunday, in the hope the carnage
from one of the country's most horrific battles will help bring comfort.
With an authentic First World War
officer's trench watch in his pocket,
Capt. Andrew Richardson says the
journey to the site of the historic
engagement helps make sense of his
time in Afghanistan.
artillery officer wonder where the
survivors found the strength to not
only carry on, but flourish.
"I know how my war experiences shaped me, but to have literally gone through Hell; to have lived
with rats; the constant threat of being blown up; the constant shelling;
the raids, I can't even begin to imagine what those guys went through,"
said Richardson, who served in Kandahar in 2011.
The fact the majority of them
resumed their lives, without doubt
suffering from post traumatic stress,
gives him hope for his future. "When
you look at the contributions of the
soldiers who had fought here
throughout Canadian society, once
they got home; these men came
back weaker in some ways, but
strengthened and resolved," he said.
"It is that kind of dedication that has
led to where we are now" as a nation.
Richardson was one of handful of soldiers, both serving and retired, who visited the monument on
Sunday in northeastern France,
through the support of Wounded
Warriors Canada, an organization
dedicated to raising awareness of
mental health in the military. The
group's aim has been to help cover
the gaps in government services with
innovative programs activities. The
The names of all 3,598 killed
in the April 9, 1917 assault are
etched into the stone surface of the
soaring monument, but Richardson
says he thinks about the ones who
went home and picked up the pieces
of their shattered lives. "Just standing here, I can't believe the number
of shell craters," he said, surveying
the landscape still rumpled and possibly stitched with unexploded
bombs. "It's a hell'uva feeling." The
scale of the devastation, even with
the passage of almost 100 years, is
breath-taking, and it made the young

Vimy tour gives hope
to Canadian veterans
(Continued from page 20)
founder, Capt. Wayne Johnston, said
trips like the one to Vimy have helped
soldiers "complete the circle" and
come away with a new sense of purpose.
"A good argument can be
made that a lot of the veterans who
helped make (our) country suffered
from PTSD," he said. "You can suffer
from an operational stress injury and
still be a high functioning person."
Soldiers taking part in the
group's cycling tour through northern
France and southern England, in support of the British-based Help for Heroes charity, will get more chances to
connect with the past. As many as 300
riders `British and Canadian” will stop
at various old battlefields and monuments, many of them from the First
World War.
The Canadian military estimates are there as many as 3,900
soldiers, out of the nearly 40,000 who
served in Afghanistan, suffering from
what it clinically calls an operational
stress injury.
The statistic released last year
as part of an overarching study, does
not attempt to calculate how many
cases may emerge in the future, nor
does it take in soldiers and veterans
who served on previous high-risk deployments, such as the low-grade war
in the Balkans and the disastrously
bloody peacekeeping mission to
The Bugle
Rwanda.
The cycling tour comes just
days after a young British soldier, Lee
Rigby, was hacked to death in London
by two men shouting Islamic slogans,
and following a reported attack Saturday on a French soldier in Paris. Both

were described as terror incidents.
Johnston said they are dramatic demonstrations of how troops are faced
with a different kind of war today,
and there are no plans to cancel or
scale back the ride. "On the contrary, I
hope Fusilier Rigby will be up there
looking down on us with a bit of pride,
knowing this ride didn't stop and we

MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of The Royal Canadian
Legion is "to serve veterans and their
dependants, to promote Remembrance, and to act in the service of
Canada and its communities." In essence, the purposes and objects of
the Legion were born of the need to
further the spirit of comradeship and
mutual assistance among all who
have served and never to forget the
deeds of the fallen.
It is paramount that the Legion strives to pass on these goals
and traditions to the families and
descendants of our ex-service personnel and to raise this awareness
among all Canadians.
The major source of funding
for the Legion to accomplish this
most important work is the annual Poppy Campaign, the foundation of our Remembrance Program.
It is the generosity of Canadians that
enables the Legion to ensure that
our veterans and their dependants
are cared for and treated with the
respect that they deserve. This November campaign, which sees Poppies distributed to Canadians of all
ages, serves to perpetuate Remembrance by ensuring that the memory
and sacrifices of our war veterans are
never forgotten.
The Legion also maintains a
leading role in the creation and care
of memorials to the contributions
The Bugle
and valour of our veterans and exservice members. We are deeply
honoured and proud to accept the
task of organizing Remembrance
ceremonies throughout the country,
including the National Remembrance
Day Ceremony in Ottawa. In addition, working in concert with other
veterans’ organizations and the Canadian government, the Legion has
vowed to ensure that the preservation of the records and memories of
our fallen heroes and returning veterans continues in perpetuity.
The Royal Canadian Legion
was honoured to initiate and coordinate the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier for the Centennial in 2000 and
to suggest the declaration of 2005 as
'Year of the Veteran'. These and
other commemorative projects and
activities led by The Royal Canadian
Legion have been welcomed by Canadians who have never hesitated to
demonstrate their support in acknowledging the debt that is owed to
those who sacrifice so much. We
repay
this
debt
in
our
“Remembrance.”
