Local pastor attends D-Day anniversary
By Shane Taylor
Auburn resident Pastor Jim
Came was part of a group of 14
Ministers and World War II veter
ans in attendance at the 50th
Anniversary of D-Day on June 6.
This time around the veterans didn't
have to fight their way into France.
They had the luxury of flying in to
Paris on a reliable airplane without
having to worry about being an
open target.

monies. Both the French and Cana
dian prime ministers were present
at the Canadian ceremony, howev
er, Pastor Came said it wasn't near
ly as long or as extravagant as the
American celebration.
Although Pastor Came was not in
the Second World War himself, he
had the opportunity to hear several
stories from his fellow travellers
who had been there. The leader of
the group, Reverend Alfred Rees,
told him about one of his experi
ences in India during the war. Rev.
Rees was flying on a mission over
Burma when the bomber's engine
blew up and only five of the 11
passengers had lime to escape the
falling plane. He was able to jump
out of the aircraft, however his
parachute wouldn't open at first and
it's at this point that Rev. Rees says
he was converted, said Pastor
Came.
The group did some sight-seeing
during their stay in France and
emotions were high when they
revisited Juno Beach where thou
sands of Canadians had landed and
died on D-Day. They also visited
St. Mary Gleese, which was made
famous by the movie "The Longest
Day", where ally parachuters were
accidently dropped into a town,
many of whom were killed before
they even hit the ground. One sol
dier's parachute got caught on a
Church steeple and he was forced
to hang there, right beside the ring
ing church bells, for over three
hours before he was finally cut
down. A statue of the parachuter
still hangs from the steeple as a
reminder of the tragic incident.
One of the highlights for Pastor
Carne during his travels around
France was the special trip he made
to a hamlet called Buron, where
Blyth veteran, Russell Cook had
been wounded during the war.
Although several of the towns
and cities have been rebuilt since
the last time the veterans saw them,
no doubt many of them would still
recall the time, a mere 50 years
ago, when severe bombing de
stroyed many of the towns and vil
lages along the coast of France.
For one local man the chance to see
these sights for the first lime
through the eyes and tales of actual
veterans was an experience he will
always remember and for some....
they can't forget.
