Grace Hussey, of RR 4 Seaforth, says when she arrived in Canada and walked past her sister-in-law's workplace, the site of Champion Machinery, everyone in the office waved. It made her feel like Royalty. "Everybody was very kind to me when I came." The Seaforth-area woman originally came to theGoderich area where her husband's fam- ily lived. She had met her husband in the summer of 1942. She had visited a zoo where servicemen happened to receive free admission. One of those ser- vicemen was Terrence Hussey. Terrence. and Grace met and a p poral followed , almost immediately, They married on April 28, 1945. Grace came to Canada on the ship the Lititia at the age of 22. The sheer number of people on the boat was imposing but a woman who may have been an officer's wife helped make her feel comfortable. "I've never forgotten it," she said. "It was a really lovely tri She had already been writing to her husband's family, send- ing letters and pictures, for Glanville family reunion The 43rd annual .Glanville baby Austin Ingrey.

Congratula- tions on being Seaforth Manor's Volunteer of the Month. about three years. She was picked up at the train station by her husband Terrence. "I'd never seen him in civil- ian clothes 'til he picked me up in Toronto," she said. Although some wartime brides expected to return to England regularly for visits, Grace never expected to return to her native country. "I always said I didn't think I'd every want to go back," she said. She has only returned to England once, in 1974. That is not to say that things were easy in Canada. There was a shortage of housing in those days and it was hard to make ends meet. IN CIVILIAN CLOTHES When Canadian soldiers married in England during wartime they often wore their regular military uniform or a special military uniform. Often, the women did not see their husbands in civilian clothes until they travelled to Canada and arrived at the train station in Toronto. Grace Hussey, of RR 4 Seaforth, remembers that she had seen pictures of her hus- band, Terrence Hussey, in civilian clothes prior to their marriage. He was wearing the wide -brimmed fedora popular at the time and Grace's mother commented, "He looks like a gangster." .
