McGillivray Honors War Dead;
New Tablet Unveiled on Sunday
More than 300 residents of Mc
Gillivray Township gathered Sun
day at the memorial to soldiers
from the ei*ea who lost their lives
during World War One, situated at
West McGillivray, to witness the
unveiling of a new tablet on the
memorial, bearing the names of 12
district -men who died in World
War Two,
The memorial, a handsome stone
monument, was erected years ago
to the men of Vimy and Flanders.
At that time the names filled three
sides of the square pillar. At the
impressive service at the monu
ment Sunday afternoon, the hun
dreds of sorrowing country folk
saw W, A. ^Sutherland, clerk of
Middlesex County, acting for War
den Clifton Davis, remove the Un
ion Jack from the newly-cut tablet.
There, side by side with the names
of men who fell in the First 'Great
War were those who gave theii’
lives in the recent global conflict.
Equal tribute was paid by the
gathering and speakers to fallen of
both wars. Names of both were
read before Pte. Francis (Langton,
R.C.R.. sounded the Last Post and
Reveille.
Five Clergymen Take I’art
Five district clergymen, in addi
tion to Hon. Major the Rev. J. Mor
ley Colling, of Chatham, special
speaker, took part. They included
Rev. E S, Wells, rector of the An
glican' Church at Ailsa Craig; Rev.
W. J, H .Smyth, of Parkhill Unit
ed Church; Rev. |A. 'S, Trueblood,
Brinsley United Church; Rev.
James Blair, Ailsa Craig UriUted
Church, and Rev. G. W. H. Med
ley, who introduced the speaker.
Rev. M'r. Medley served under Rev.
Mr. Colling in the Canadian Army
Chaplaincy Service in Italy.
The Lucan male chorus led the
singing. The audience was seated
before an improvised platform both
on chairs and on the grass. Sever
al rows of seats were reserved for
kin of the men whose -names ap
peared on the new tablet.
Traffic at Standstill
Traffic came to a near standstill
during the hour-long service, Only
one or two cars passed the hun
dreds who sat in the blistering hot
sun. All others paused while pas
sengers joined in the solemn ser
vice.
"We can avenge the blood of the
men who fell in this recent conflict
by preserving for eternity the four
freedoms they died to protect,"
Rev. Mr. Colling declared. He went
■on to say that in the year since
