Goderich Legion honors thirteen W.W. veterans BY NEIL SHAW On Saturday April 9 thir- teen veterans of World War I including four who served at Vimy Ridge were the honoured guests of Legion Branch 109 at the Vimy Memorial dinner. April 9th of this year marks the 66th anniversary of this historic battle. The honoured guests who were introduced by Past President Les Riley included Vimy veterans Jack McLaren, Clarence Mac- Donald, arDonald, Dick .Cornish and Frank Glenn and World War I veterans Sam Anderson, Orah Crawford, Gordon' Jamieson, Howard Robert- son, Joe Snider, Bob Sower - by, Bill Riseborough, Hugh Stewart and Lewis Taylor. The guest speaker for the evening was Comrade Ed - ,,gun Bennett of Woodstock. Comrade Bennett served with the Calgary Tank Regi- ment at Dieppe where he was wounded and became a prisoner of war for over two years. In his remarks on the bat- tle of Vimy Ridge the speaker stated that Cana- dian nationhood was ,.first won at Vimy Ridge. It was here that the Canadian Corps in a well planned at- tack, supported by co- ordinated artillery fire stormed and in three days fully occupied Vimy Ridge, a strongly fortified key enemy position. Today Vimy Ridge is . the site ofa memorial monu- ment placed there in tribute to the over 60,000 Canadians who gave their lives in World Wail. The victory at Vimy Ridge is remembered as the greatest of all of the Canadian battles of World War I. Commenting on the heroic but tragic raid on Dieppe Comrade Bennett stated that Dieppe is still a very con- troversial topic. The whole story has yet to be told. Of the over 5000 men who stormed this port 3369 were to become casualties. Units such as the Essex Scottish and the Royal Regiment of Canada suffered extremely heavy casualties in the at- tack on this heavily fortified French port. The speaker went on to say that the attack on Dieppe was forced on the Allied leaders by Russia, a very demanding ally pressing for a second front. As a second front was not possible at this time .a raid on Dieppe became the only solution. Although the. Canadians had no part in the planning the job had to be clone. The Canadians were to attack Dieppe. Without heavy fire support from the Air Force and Navy the plan showed a complete lack of c,pmmon sense. Many lessons were learn- ed from this defeat but the greatest was "Mulberry", the use of a portable port facilities that were set up following the successful lan- ding of the Allied army on the open coastline of France " on D Day in June of 1944. At Dieppe the Canadians again proved their reputa- tion eputation as shock troops;4 a reputation that *as established at Vimy Ridge. Comrade Bennett who par ticipated in the making of the CBC documentary on Dieppe, shown on television in November of 1979, con- cluded his remarks by outlining the huge amount of preparation that was _re- quired to produce this historical documentary. alft OF VALUES $ 1 .19 VASELINE INTENSIVE CARE LOTION 660 m1, ONLY $329 PERT SHAMPOO450 mL PLUS 100 mi, FREE TUMS150'S ONLY $3 $9 ONLY LISTERINE MOUTHWASHPLUS 750 0I�.
