Remembrance Day 2016 will mark 100 years since
the 161st Huron Battalion marched off to war. That is
just one reason the community is encouraged to
honor all those who have endeavored to keep the
citizens of this country safe for decades as well as
those who continue to do so on a daily basis.
The Village of Bayfield will celebrate Remembrance
Day on Nov. 6 starting at 10:45 a.m. at the cenotaph
in Clan Gregor Square.
Bayfield's services are held on the Sunday prior to
Nov. 11, when musicians and clergy can avail
themselves to the smaller centres.
The outdoor portion of the ceremony will begin with a
parade of veterans, legion representatives, and local

young man he had worked alongside local men.

;�PB10108 PC Ernest Kneeshaw tallest at center back c1930
Among these soldiers is Ernest Kneeshaw (tallest at center back) circa 1930.
He owned a family cottage, which is still in his
family, on Old River Road, and he was very well
known and respected in the community.
Immediately, Bayfield was involved in the war. It
wasn't a theoretical exercise amongst politicians,
now it was personal!
After World War I, many of the local men and
women who had served, didn't return home to
Bayfield. Job prospects were poor and the effects
of the depression saw many families either drift to
Western Canada, the US or to the cities.
Declining catches had hurt the fishing industry
and the lamprey eel also had a devastating effect.
Serving the summer tourists was just about the
only way to earn money unless you could find
employment in Goderich or Clinton. The 1941
Census showed that the total population of
Bayfield had dropped to about 321 people.
Military recruitment was very different for World
War 11. There were no local parades and no one
was trying to raise a Huron County Regiment.
There were no men drilling in Clan Gregor
Square. This time, men just quietly left to sign up
for the service of their choice.
Before they were shipped overseas, men with
local connections would often drift back to
Bayfield on their last leave to say their goodbyes.
Town Hall social gatherings would be quickly
arranged. During one of these events, Privates
Joe Wild and Keith Gemeinhardt, A.C. Bill
Robinson and Stocker, Merton Merner, were
called to the platform and our World War I
heroine, Maud Stirling, made a speech praising
their sense of duty and courage.
Here's how the Clinton News -Record described
another occasion in 1940: "Bayfield presented an
almost "kaleidoscopal" scene on Saturday
evening, when Bayfield citizens rallied to the
special call and hurried to the Town Hall whose
lights shone out over the snow, here and there
from every direction one could see people
marching single file through the drifts of snow.
"The occasion was to honor three native sons of
Bayfield, James Dewar who has enlisted in the
Navy, James Sturgeon and Tom Castle of the
Army, Mrs. Percy Weston's nephew, LAC Ernest
Fulton from Bigger, Saskatchewan who is
stationed at Clinton, was a guest and was called
also onto the platform to receive a small gift.
"The program was an informal one consisting of
community songs accompanied by Mrs. James
Ferguson, followed by dancing. The local
orchestra was composed of Mrs. Jack Parker,
Mrs. Harry Thomas, Miss Jake!ine Parker, Mrs.
George Weston and Mr. Lindsay Smith.
"Gifts of wool and a pen and pencil set were
presented to the three by Mrs. Walter Westlake

and Mrs. Mabel Prentice while Mrs. R.H.F.
Gairdner, read the following presentation address:
'Bayfield I always have declared has a loyalty all
its own. Where else could you find a community
that in a few short hours on the stormiest night of
the year, could gather together at you have
tonight."'
Local women felt that they couldn't just sit idle
while the boys were fighting.
According to the Goderich Signal -Star in Dec.
1940, "There were 58 active knitters including
some summer visitors who continued to work for
the Bayfield unit after they had returned to the
city. This group had already produced 744 knitted
articles for the troops and 1,400 items that could
be used as hospital supplies, as well as 178
articles for refugees."
The war was far away and the residents of
Bayfield were relatively poor but at each Town
Hall event and fundraising dance, they were
determined to make a contribution to the war
effort.

Well, we're back from our family week in Disney World and I must
say the best part was the opportunity to reconnect with our grown
children as well as spend lots of quality time with our grandkids all
under one "tree house" roof.
Being able to experience the "most magical place on earth" through
the eyes of a five year-old and two year-old was absolutely precious.
My overall favorite ride would have to be "Soarin' Around the World"
at Epcot. It is a 4D flight simulator attraction that lifts folks on multi-

passenger hang gliders for a scenic aerial tour of the world, complete with hints of scent as
riders fly over certain vistas.
Our grandson's preferred attraction, although he'd probably tell you it was the "People Mover",
was Buzz Lighyear's Space Ranger Spin, a shooting gallery style ride that allows riders to fire
lasers from a cannon to defeat "Zurg". And why would he say his preferred ride was the "People
Mover"? Because it takes riders through part of the Buzz Lightyear experience, of course!
And what was little Miss Noelle's favorite ride? Well, she liked anything and everything boat like,
however, she seemed to be the most excited first thing in the morning when we all climbed into
the Tram that took us from the parking lot to the theme park of the day. She smiled and giggled.
The wind blowing her gentle tangle of curls about her wee face with her hands resting securely
on the thighs of those members of her family she chose to sit between. Upon reflection, maybe,
just as it was for me, spending time with family was Noelle's most favorite part too. — Melody
