Following the toast to the Queen, which was proposed by Frank Reid, second vice-president, the Last Post and Reveille were sound- ed in honor of fallen comrades. Grace was said by Col. the- Rev. K. E. Taylor, padre of Branch 109: In the opening address, Mr. Skin- ner said: "This date, April 9, car- ries many vivid memories to the Canadian veterans of Vimy Ridge. "Forty-one years ago, -° on an Easter Monday morning, our Can- adian Army made the assault on Vimy Ridge. It is said Canada fought its way to nationhood, as the Battle of Vimy was one of their most., if not the most import- ant of all theirgreat feats of arms." • Vimy Vets Stand 1fr, • Skinner then called the names ..of ,SY..in4-,:veterans..wha-were present andwaked then to stand up.

Brea de Vries,, of Blyth, was introduced by Mr. Mathieson. During the Nazi occupation of The Netherlands, Mr. de Vries and his wife were acf ive in the resistance movement. After the war, they came to Canada, where Mr, de Vries studied theol- ogy. Now an ordained minister at Blyth, he looks after a three-point charge. Mr. de Vries had been asked to speak to the Legion on his experi- ences in the Dutch underground 1940-45. He has given talks on this subject a couple of times be- fore -in--Goderich—and—his -remarks on ',those occasions were reported i in this newspaper. In August, 1, Mr. de Vries was taken prisoner by the enemy occupation troops, -but he was re- leased after his wife showed the commandant some 'credentials which had been cleverly forged..by the Dutch underground. ' At- the close of his address, -Mr. de Vries was given a tremendous standing ovation by Legion mem- 15ers. He was officially thanked by J. E. Huckins, one of the Vimy vet- erans. As a point of interest, ,Mr. Huckins held tap a souvenir—a, spoon—which had been picked up on Vimy Ridge 41 years ago by Harold Turner. Mr. Skinner thanked the mem- hers of the Ladies' Auxiliary who catered for the banquet. Mrs. A. F. Hill replied for the ladies. •Members of the Vichy •memorial banquet committee were: Mr. Skin- ner, chairman; Ken Croft, J. E. Huckins. Neil ,Shaw and G.
