Legion Announces 2014-15
Memorial (Silver) Cross Mother
OTTAWA, ON, October 31st 2014 – Tom Eagles, Dominion President of The Royal Canadian Legion, an‐
nounced Mrs. Gisèle Michaud as the National Memorial (Silver) Cross Mother for 2014‐2015 earlier today here at Dominion Command. Mrs. Michaud lost her young‐
est son, Master Corporal Charles‐
Philippe Michaud, after he was mor‐
tally wounded after stepping on an improvised explosive device while on patrol in the Panjwayi District, south‐
west of Kandahar City, Afghanistan on June 23rd, 2009. He was trans‐
ported to a Quebec City hospital on June 28th, 2009 and passed away on July 4th, of that same year. Mrs. Michaud lives in Ed‐
mundston, New Brunswick. She is the 5th mother from New Brunswick to be named as the National Memo‐
rial (Silver) Cross Mother since the Legion began this tradition more than sixty years ago. As the National Memorial (Silver) Cross Mother, Mrs. Michaud will lay a wreath at the National War Memorial on 11 November 2014 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. Throughout the year she will also be called upon to perform other The Bugle
duties honouring the Fallen from all conflicts. The Memorial (Silver) Cross was instituted on December 1, 1919 and was issued as a memento of per‐
sonal loss and sacrifices on behalf of all widows and mothers who lost a child while on active duty in the ser‐
vice of their nation or whose death was consequently attributed to such duty. Biography – Mrs. Michaud
Mrs. Michaud was born and raised in Edmundston, NB. In 1971, she married Conrad Michaud. She worked in retail but is now retired. Her youngest son, Master Corporal Charles‐Philippe Michaud, was mor‐

We take the time every No‐
vember 11 to pay our respects to our Veterans, and acknowledge the sacri‐
fice made by their comrades on the fields of battle, and during the course of their service to our country. Those who died did not get a tomorrow. Those who survive fight with their demons, whether physical or mental, and tomorrow is never promised. We who gather here can‐
not predict the future, neither can we say with any degree of certainty “we’ll be back here next November 11.” I think now of WO Patrice Vin‐
cent and Cpl Nathan Cirillo ‐ they have no more tomorrows, and their sacrifices were not made in a far away land, in someone else’s war ‐ they were murdered on Canadian soil, their only provocation being the uniforms they both wore so proudly. The reality of such hatred is shocking, and for all Canadians this Remembrance Day takes on a whole new perspective. We have received an abrupt reminder of the meaning of sacrifice, right here at home. Every day should be Remem‐
brance Day. Every day we should make a point of acknowledging the sacrifice, of shaking the hand of a Veteran, of pausing on our way past the Cenotaph to read the names in‐
scribed here, and to consider what their sacrifice represented to this The Bugle
small community. And if you have the opportu‐
nity to encounter any of our brave CF personnel, let them know that they are appreciated for what they are doing, and what they are prepared to do. Tell them their country is proud of them, stands behind them, and sends all our best hopes with them as they embark on their various duties. “At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we WILL remem‐
ber them!” 6

Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent on Oct. 20 and Corporal Nathan Cirillo on Oct. 22. Both have been attrib‐
uted to acts of terrorism specifically intended to harm Canadian soldiers. Based on information pro‐
vided by the Department of National Defence, their deaths marked the first time in almost 130 years that a Canadian soldier was killed in a hos‐
tile act on Canadian soil. According to the department’s historians, the last time an on‐duty Canadian soldier was killed in such a way was on May 12, 1885. On that day, during the North‐
west Rebellion of 1885, five soldiers were killed, likely during the Battle of Batoche in Saskatchewan. The dead were listed by the department as a Captain Brown, Captain French, Lieu‐
tenant Kippen, Lieutenant Fitch, and Private Frazer. Captain SueEllen MacGowan, public affairs officer with the Depart‐
ment of National Defence, confirmed the last soldier killed was likely Pri‐
vate James Ira Frazer of the 90th Bat‐
talion of Rifles. One hundred and twenty nine years since the last Canadian soldier was killed in a hostile act on Cana‐
dian soil ‐ there’s another milestone for us to get puffed up about. LEST WE FORGET 2014 has been like no other for most Canadians living today. There have been so many mile‐
stones: one hundred years since the beginning of what was called “The Great War” ‐ World War One; sev‐
enty years since the D‐Day invasion of Normandy; the official end to the Canadian mission in Afghanistan. While we Canadians puffed ourselves up, swelling with national pride at our glorious past, reality came along and knocked us violently and deliberately back into the here and now. As we all know, two separate incidents, in which Canadian soldiers in uniform on Canadian soil were targeted, resulted in the deaths of The Bugle

At the 11th hour On the 11th day Of the 11th month We will remember Them At this time of year we wear a poppy over our hearts to commemo‐
rate some of humanity’s greatest triumphs of strength and spirit, and pay tribute to our veterans of WWI, WWII, Korea, the Gulf War, Canadian missions and Afghanistan. It is also a fitting time to reflect on the men and women who continue the proud tra‐
dition of serving Canada’s Armed Forces. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the First World War. By the end of WWI there were very few people who re‐
mained unaffected. The war reached out and touched almost everyone’s life in some way. We were not im‐
mune here Fenelon Falls and neighbouring communities, 57 of our The Bugle
men were killed in action. Parents lost sons, wives lost husbands, chil‐
dren lost their father, brothers and sisters lost a brother and the fallen lost a life full of potential and prom‐
ise. In addition tens of thousands served and returned home. Our veterans answered the call when needed, and served with courage and valour. They fought in trenches, on hills, beaches, deserts and rice paddies, on land and sea and in the air. They sacri‐
ficed the comforts, love and safety of home in order to defend the rights and freedoms of 8

others. Some returned with permanent physical and emo‐
tional scars and thousands upon thousands never re‐
turned. Each of those who gave their life had a family and friends whose lives were enriched by their love and diminished by their loss. This Remembrance Day we are aware of the per‐
ils and danger our serving military face, given the re‐
cent murders of Warrant Of‐
ficer Patrice Vincent and Cor‐
poral Nathan Cirillo on Cana‐
dian soil by Canadians. Cpl. Cirillo was killed in one of the most sacred places in Canada, the National War Memorial, while on ceremonial guard duty. Many of us grieved for these soldiers and their families and felt the need to do something. Poppies blossomed on the chests of Canadi‐
ans in advance of the Poppy Cam‐
paign, vigils and spontaneous memo‐
rials appeared at cenotaphs across the land, thousands lined the High‐
way of Heroes and millions watched the funerals on TV. To quote Prime Minister Harper “we know in our hearts that we owe our freedom, our democracy and our prosperity to the millions of Canadians who by serving in our armed forces have kept the true north strong and free for over two The Bugle
centuries.” We have a debt we can only repay by ensuring our veterans ef‐
forts, sacrifices and accomplishments are ever remembered and live on forever in our hearts and minds. I thank all who participated in making this year’s Remembrance activities such a success; local mer‐
chants, community service groups, the Hastings and Prince Edward Regi‐
ment cadets, our volunteers who freely give their time, talent and en‐
ergy, the O.P.P., Federal, Provincial and Municipal representatives and all those who attended and or partici‐
pated in our remembrance activities. Together we are making a down pay‐
ment on our debt of remembrance worthy of sacrifices made. Lest We Forget 9

O canada
We stand on guard for thee
In response to the sudden and very tragic deaths of WO Patrice Vin‐
cent and Cpl Nathan Cirillo, both at‐
tributed to deliberate acts of terror‐
ism, Canadians did the only thing they could ‐ they paid their respects. At Cenotaphs across the coun‐
try, folks stood vigil ‐ cadets, military service personnel both active and retired, and ordinary citizens who felt the need to take a stand, and stand united. The Bugle
10
We at the Fenelon Falls Legion were so proud to have our own MCpl (ret’d) Wes Arscott CD step up and pay his respects to his fallen brothers in arms. The prevailing sentiment fol‐
lowing these senseless killings is this: Canadians will not allow ourselves or our Country to be victims of terror‐
ism. While it is true that we are best known as a peacekeeping nation, we have proven time and again through‐
out history that we are neither afraid nor unable to take an active and aggressive role when called upon, at home or abroad, to defend against tyr‐
anny and that which threatens human rights. The tragedies in Quebec and on Parliament Hill brought our nation together, and our national spirit has been re‐
newed ‐ sadly at the expense of two precious lives, but their sacrifice has served to strengthen Canada’s collective resolve. To Cde. Arscott, and to all who stood in vigil across our great nation, thank you. To the families and friends of WO Vincent and Cpl Cirillo, our country has wept with you, shares in your sor‐
row, and will carry their mem‐
ory forever in its heart.

President, Ladies Auxiliary to Branch 238
Another year, another report from the Ladies Auxiliary to Branch 238. This year has become an impor‐
tant time to belong to such a great organization. The recent tragic events in Quebec and in Ottawa gave me a better insight into how our Charter members must have felt back in 1941, when their husbands, sons and other relatives were away at war; some did not return. The loss of loved ones is hard at any time, but as defenders of our freedom it seems to be much harder. I and others felt it was very important to do our Poppy Cam‐
paign, and also to attend the services this week. The Candlelight Parade has become a large part of our Remem‐
brance Services. Earlier this year some of our Auxiliary Ladies were in attendance at the August General Meeting when, much to her surprise, Cde. Jackie Walter was presented with the high‐
est honour from the Legion. The Palm Leaf is a hard‐
earned award. Jackie has been a huge backer of our Auxiliary and we are very proud of our Jackie. This year we welcomed Cde. The Bugle

tional and enjoyable. Comrades, this Branch needs support from ALL members. It does not function by itself. We pledge to support. That pledge does not end at the end of initiation. I urge all of you to help where and when you can. God Bless all of you. Lest We Forget... November 11, 2014
WWI CANADIAN SOLDIER’S
REMAins identified
Sidney Halliday died in the
Battle of Amiens, 1918
By Lynne Chichakian and Liam O'Rinn / Doc Zone, CBC News The remains of a previously unknown soldier are those of Cana‐
dian Pte. Sidney Halliday, who fought in the First World War. The Department of National Defence announced today that they had identified Halliday's remains, one of eight bodies discovered together in France in 2006. DND had revealed the identities of four other soldiers on Sept. 27. It was only when scientific avenues of investigation had been exhausted that a momentary gesture of love a century ago proved to be the key in identifying the remains. "I guess it makes you feel as if he just passed away, instead of all those many years ago," Jim Halliday, Sidney's nephew, told CBC News. "it's a strange feeling. It's one you can't really explain all that well, brought some sense of closure, as they say." The five identified soldiers fought and died in the Battle of Amiens in 1918, the start of the hun‐
dred day offensive that eventually led to the end of the war. They were members of Can‐
ada’s 78th Battalion, the Winnipeg Grenadiers. The Bugle

Pte. Sidney Halliday served with the 78th Battalion and died in the Battle of Amiens in 1918. (Jim Halliday) Sidney Halliday was one of 10 chil‐
dren. In March 1913, he and his brother William left their home in Gloucestershire, England to come to Canada. Sidney soon found work on a farm in Minto, Man., according to William's son, Jim. That's where he met Lizzie Walmsley. She had come from Winni‐

moved forward faster than anyone expected, advancing 13 km. More than 5,000 German troops were cap‐
tured. While the 78th was trying to hold the tiny hamlet of Hallu on Aug. 11, the tables were turned. German reinforcements surrounded the Ca‐
nadians. Sidney Halliday, 22 years old, was killed in action, one of about 100 members of the 78th who were killed or went missing in the Battle of Amiens. He fell with his brothers in arms in a field and was buried under the mud in Hallu. His military records state the body was not recovered for burial. Identifying the remains

ally handed over to DND, along with the remains. At first the locket didn't seem relevant to their investigation, but it would prove to be a vital piece in helping identify Sidney Halliday. When the locket was cleaned it revealed Lizzie Walmsley’s name on the lid. On its own this wasn't helpful, but a further look at the service re‐
cords showed that at some point one of the missing soldiers from the 78th had asked for a change to his will. Young men at war were pragmatic enough to realize that their chances of survival were limited, so it was standard procedure to write a will. Those wills became part of the meticulously written war records. Sidney's records indicate that he had left most of his meagre wealth to his mother but at some point had asked for a change to be made. He asked that $10 go to Lizzie Walmsley of Winnipeg. Walmsley went on to work at Eaton’s in Winnipeg. She lived in what is now the St. James suburb, Jim Halliday said. Thanks to that locket, and the need to make sure he left something behind for Lizzie, Halliday will now have his name placed on a tomb‐
stone next year, when he and his comrades receive a full military fu‐
neral at the military cemetery near Caix, 28 km southeast of Amiens. November 11, 2014
98-year-old B.C. woman shares letter
from father killed in WW I
Letter written day after messenger brought word
that wife had just given birth to baby girl
By Chris Brown, CBC News June Gillrie, 98, looks over a letter written by her father, William Kineer Leslie of the 102 Battalion Canadian Infantry during the First World War. Leslie died on June 5, 1917 in Villers‐Au‐Bois, France, without ever getting to meet his new baby girl. (CBC) Meeting June Gillrie is like rewinding 100 years. She's a spry, vigorous 98‐year‐old with a sharp mind and a vivid mem‐
ory. A question about her long life elicits a rapid‐fire, autobiographical ac‐
count of how she owned retail stores in Vancouver, developed commercial buildings and pursued golfing and skiing with a passion. And yet, for all the memories Gillrie can recall instantly, she says there's always been a very large part of her life that's been missing — she has no memory of her father, William Kineer Leslie. They never met. A 31‐year‐old sergeant with the 102 Battalion Canadian Infantry, Leslie died on the battlefield in France in June 1917 without ever getting to see his (Continued on page 16)

newborn daughter. 'I never had a father'
"He was killed when I was almost a year old, so I never had a father," says Gillrie. Now, with her own years winding down, Gillrie says she wants to share her most personal possession — a handwritten letter from her father which he wrote upon learning of her birth. "I feel it's in honour of my father that I'm doing this." Gillrie has donated the letter, as well as Leslie's war medals, to the HMCS Alberni Museum in Comox, B.C., where they are now part of a perma‐
nent exhibit. The letter, penned by Leslie from the front lines of France, was written the day after a messenger brought word that his wife in British Columbia had just given birth to a baby girl. "My darling wife," reads Gillrie, "I can't tell you how happy I am...You always wanted a girl, and now you got one." It goes on to express his joy and hopes for the day he gets to meet his new little girl. "I will sure worship the little thing." Not long afterwards, Leslie survived the near massacre of his regiment, but his luck would run out on June 7, 1917. Museum curator Lewis Bartholomew, who's researched Leslie's life, says Leslie was leading an attack on a German machine gun bunker near the French village of Villers‐Au‐Bois. "He was struck by a sniper's bullet in the hip and almost immediately he was struck with machine gun fire in the chest and died instantly." But Gillrie says she doesn't believe death came immediately for her father. "I often think when a person is dying and they're hurt like that .. you realize that you're dying and I think his mind would have gone to his mother and to his new wife with this new baby. Because I don't think you die in‐
stantly." After Leslie's death, Gillrie's mother, Maud, moved her and her two siblings to California and then back to Vancouver where the family settled and her mother eventually remarried. Her father's letter, along with letters from other soldiers about her dad, ended up in a chest and were rarely taken out. The Bugle

But over time she says, she realized she wanted others to hear about his story. 'So very proud of what he did'
"I feel proud, so very proud of what he did. It comes out more, not when you're young, but when you're older and you realize what's gone on." Every year, Gillrie has taken out an ad in the local Courtenay newspa‐
per to coincide with Remembrance Day. It shows Leslie on a horse in a Cana‐
dian military uniform, taken in Vancouver in 1915. The caption reads: "Sadly but proudly I hold the medals of the father I never knew." Bartholomew says the title for the exhibit about Gillrie and Leslie came from the last words of his last letter, "How I Long to See You". "I hope what (visitors) take away from this is a father's love and 100 years later, a daughter's love for that father. That even though the war was tragic, it wasn't enough to kill the love between these people." Every year, June Gillrie has taken out an ad in the local Courtenay newspaper to coincide with Remembrance Day.

Tower of London
Poppy installation
Poppies in the Moat
www.britishlegion.org.uk From 5 August 2014 to 11 November 2014, a major artistic in‐
stallation entitled 'Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red' sees the Tower of London's famous dry moat filled with over 800,000 ceramic poppies to cre‐
ate a powerful visual commemora‐
tion for the First World War Centen‐
ary. We're delighted to announce that all the poppies have been sold. Information about the sale of pop‐
pies and whether more may become available can be found at pop‐
pies.hrp.org.uk The ceramic poppies were on sale for £25 each with net proceeds, hoped to be in excess of £15 million, to be shared equally amongst a group of carefully selected Service charities including the Legion. The Legion is proud to be one of the selected charities along with the Confederation of Service Chari‐
ties (COBSEO), Combat Stress, Com‐
“The significance of the
vital work that these charities
provide is one we must not forget
and is especially poignant as we
mark the anniversary of the First
World War and remember all
those who lived and fought during
this time.”

ing Home, Help for Heroes and SSAFA (formerly the Soldiers, Sailors, Air‐
men and Families Association). The installation, in collabora‐
tion with ceramic artist Paul Cum‐
mins and theatre stage designer Tom Piper, was unveiled on 5 August 2014, one hundred years since the first full day of Britain's involvement in the First World War. The poppies, a symbol of Re‐
membrance in the UK, will encircle the iconic landmark, creating not only a spectacular display visible from all around the Tower, but also an inspiring setting for performance and learning activities, as well as pro‐
viding a location for personal reflec‐
tion. The scale of the installation in‐
tends to reflect the magnitude of such an important centenary. 26

He was a little bored with country life; work, work, same old, same old. He saw a notice up on the town bulletin board, that his country was looking for men to enlist for ser‐
vice in a land far away. He had heard that somewhere 'over there' a war had started, and he was thinking that this would be a good chance to get away from the hum‐drum of farm life, and get a lit‐

The country warrior
By cde. Mel goddard
(Continued from page 35)
At long last he was in France, in the muddy fields that at times were a meat grinder that took good men and shredded them to pieces. He was in the thick of it, scared, but bravely carrying on, shooting at the 'other side' who was shooting at him, also with tiny bullets that were very fast and deadly. The other side shot similar sized bullets, that were tiny, but very fast and deadly. The good Lord was riding on his shoulder though, and he was scared, and mad, and dirty muddy, but basically unhurt. This place was a Hell on Earth that he hadn't envisioned, and as he lay there one day looking up at the sky, he saw a speck that was new to him. It drew closer giving a loud sputtering noise as it passed over‐
head; it was an aeroplane. A real honest to God flying machine. He had heard about them, but never had seen one. He was too busy trying to stay alive in the wet cold quagmires of his existence. He resolved that flying for King and Country was a lot better than swimming for them in the stink‐
hole where he was. Through good luck and better management he managed to per‐

suade his Officers that he was good candidate material for aerial combat. If he was going to die for his King and Country, at least it would be a clean death. Off to flying school he went, in England and then France, where he survived the rigors of training in rag‐
tag cloth and wooden "kites" that somehow managed to lift his body and soul up into the heavens above. These aeroplanes smelled of castor oil and gasoline, and fabric dope, and gun oil, and other people's sweat, but they flew. And they carried guns. Good Lewis air‐cooled guns that spat out little .303 bullets that were tiny but very fast and deadly. And in school, his country home training, shooting rabbits and squir‐

quite an aerial marksman, hitting his targets a lot. Back in France, he joined a squadron of like minded individuals, who went after "The Hun" with a vengeance. Of course, 'the Hun' went af‐
ter them also, so at times he became quite adept at scoring victories, and soon became an "Ace". One becomes an 'ace', buy shooting down five en‐
emy aircraft. He lived the life of men who had become 'supermen' in the eyes of ground bound troops; flying over the mud and gore, chasing the en‐

plane back to his own lines, but blacking out, he lost control and his 'plane dived into the ground. That horrid muddy ground that he had left many months ago, had re‐
claimed him. The farm boy had returned to the earth, but not at home. In the parlance of the aerial warrior; he had "Bought the Farm". One hundred years later, a young man, a student from home who had won a trip to France to tour the "Fields of Honour" looks at the headstone of a fighter pilot, and wonders: What was it like up there so long ago? This stu‐
dent is about the same age as the young man under the headstone, and he is won‐

MISSION STATEMENT The mission of The Royal Canadian Legion is "to serve veterans and their dependants, to promote Remem‐
brance, and to act in the service of Canada and its communities." In es‐
sence, 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 Le‐
gion strives to pass on these goals and traditions to the families and descendants of our ex‐service per‐
sonnel and to raise this awareness among all Canadians. The major source of funding for the Legion to accomplish this most important work is the an‐
nual Poppy Campaign, the founda‐
tion 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 re‐
spect that they deserve. This Novem‐
ber 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 ex‐
service 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 addi‐
tion, working in concert with other veterans’ organizations and the Ca‐
nadian government, the Legion has vowed to ensure that the preserva‐
tion of the records and memories of our fallen heroes and returning vet‐
erans continues in perpetuity. The Royal Canadian Legion was honoured to initiate and coordi‐
nate the Tomb of the Unknown Sol‐
dier 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 Ca‐
nadians who have never hesitated to demonstrate their support in ac‐
knowledging the debt that is owed to those who sacrifice so much. We repay this debt in our “Remembrance.” YOU CAN JOIN THE LEGION Here are just some of the many benefits membership in The Royal Canadian Legion brings: SOCIAL ACTIVITIES : Most branches have recreational facilities and may have licensed lounges.
