W.O. Bill Balkwill Tells Of His
Work In The Yukon And Arctic
The following letter from an
Exeter Old Boy', Warrant Officer
William Balkwill, will be read
with interest by our many sub
scribers:
No. 2 C.M.U., R.C.A.F.
Calgary, Alta.,
Dear Editor—
Enclosed herewith my renewal
along with an account , of our
unit. It -may be interesting for
some of the people to know of
our .activities in the northern
parts of Canada. Since coming to
the unit I have spent most of
my time in the Yukon and the
.Arctic. For the past four months
I have been in. -charge of all
construction for Operation Sweet
Briar. I have been home for two
weeks now and .am leaving on
Monday, February 6 for White
horse to join the operation and
stay with it until completion. I
will be erecting the hangar re
ferred to in the Calgary Herald’s
report. Being the Senior Foreman
of Works with the unit sure
takes one into a lot of isolated
areas as well as a great deal of
travelling along the Alaska High
way. Last summer my wife .and
Anne and I spent the summer at
Watson Lake, as I was in charge
of the erection of prefabricated
married quarters there.
Best of wishes to all my
friends in Exeter and I hope I
get back to .Canada soon.

The following is the report of
No 2 C.M.U. unit taken from the
Calgary Herald:
“Constuction and maintenance
of R.C.A.F. installations situated
in isolated points in Northern
Canada is the responsibility of
No. 2 Construction and Mainten
ance Unit, R.C.A.F., a complete
heavy contracting unit which is
the only service unit of its kind
in. Canada. It is situated at Cur
rie airfield .next to No. 10 Re
pair Depot.
With more than $2,000,000
worth of heavy equipment sucn
as bulldozers, drag lines, earth
haulers, graders, mobile cement
mixers, gravel crushers, asphalt
plants and numerous other spec
ialized vehicles, the 4 20 men of
the unit pull stumps, build and
service roads, erect hangars and
other service buildings, lay run
ways and carry out a. myriad of
other jobs necessary for the ef
ficiency and comfort of air force
personnel working in the north.
S/L A. C. Border, the unit's
popular commanding officer and
a civil engineer, said that all the
unit’s personnel are tradesmen
except for approximately 100
construction h a n d s w h o them
selves have the opportunity of
learning any of the construction
trades and remastering.
Since most of the unit’s work
is done in isolated northern«
jR.C.A.F. outposts where civilian
contractors are unavailable, many
of the personnel are away on de
tachments in all parts of north
ern Canada for periods up to
eight months.
During normal times when spe
cial tactical exercises such as
Exercise sweetbriar are not in
motion, IS detachments varying
; from five or six men to a com
plete construction camp of seve
ral hundred are working from
Whitehorse to Southampton. Is
land on construction work. ,
Currently the unit has men
busy on the building-up of Exer
cise Sweetbriar. One of their jobs
will be erecting a prefabricated
-hangar on an advanced landing
ground in one day.
Another group is clearing 3000
acres of brush at Watson Lake
and building 20 miles of road
into the site of the winter air.

This summer another group
will rebuild and lengthen a run
way on Cornwallis island in the
Arctic.
Doing every type of work ex
cept steel erecting, No. 2 C.M.U.
-.is a heating contractor, an elec
trical contractor and a housing
contractor as well as a heavy
construction outfit.
! It erects prefabricated hous-
; ing; installs and repairs all re- < frigeration and lighting plants
' in the northland; installs heat-
ing arrangements, and even de
signs its own buildings. Its pain
ters work all over Alberta and
its carpenters have a complete
wood-working shop equipped
with the latest mechanical tools.
In addition to the service
tradesmen, 9’0’ civilian tradesmen
are employed. These pre assured
5 2 weeks of work a year, a con
siderable advantage over other
tradesmen with civilian contrac
tors, who often .are laid-off dur
ing the winter.
S/’L Border said his unit has
little trouble finding airmen in
terested in construction work
and learning a, trade which will
serve them later when they re
turn to civilian life.
All officers of the station are
civil engineers and draftsmen
and ’currently all construction
and engineering officers of the
R.C.A.F. come to the C.M.U.
after graduation for two years’
experience in air force construc
tion.
Five of the construction and
engineering officers now station
ed at the C.M.U. are war-time
pilots who graduated from uni
versity after the war and then
re-enlisted as engineers with the
R.C.A.F.
The motor transport section
under W.O. 1 Syd Awcock, em-
! ploys approximately 160 men
who service the unit’s vehicles
and drive the approximately 30
heavy caterpillar tractors and 90
trucks.
The 60 carpenters are in the
charge of Sgt. .Forbes Henderson
and Sgt. C. D. Henderson directs
the labor of 30 plumbers. Cpl.
