Kelly Gawne, 21, of London, one
of six soldiers killed in an explosion
at a training session in Chilliwack,
B.C. was the granddaughter of
Mrs. Edith Baker of Brussels.
Mrs. Baker said Kelly excelled
in everything. She was academi

artistic with her acting, singing
and also athletic.
She’d just completed her second
year at Royal Military College in
Kingston and was taking a course
in her specialty, military engineer
ing.
Kelly Gawne died Monday, June
20 when a group of military
engineering cadets a nd officers
were trying to blast a 16-foot deep
crater, a war-time tactic designed
to hinder traffic, when 60 pounds of
plastic explosive detonated with
out warning.
A full Military funeral service
was held Saturday, June 25 for
Kelly Rae Gawne, born March 14,
1967, daughter of Ray and Elda
Gawne, sister of Kevin and his wife
Terry of Shearwater, N.S. In
recognition of the many gifts and
talents Kelly shared and expressed
in her life, members of the Clarke
Road Secondary School Singing
Group sang two pieces of music of
particular significance to Kelly.
Thefuneral party formed and
departed from St. Mark’s Chapel
and CFB London to Mount Plea
sant Cemetery. Her brother Kevin
marched alongside in the Honour
Guard. The community sends their
deepest sympathy to Mrs. Baker
and family in this tragic accident.

The introduction of each gradu
ating student, prior to the presen
tation of his or her diploma, was
done by projecting a slide of each
stu de nt as a baby or small child,
while each of the school’s teachers
in turn recited an original poem
about the student, then showing a
slide of the graduate as he or she
looks now. It was an unusual and
very popular presentation, judging
by the reaction of the large
audience of families and friends.
