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.
