Public asked to help preserve war history
By Gerard Creces
Goderich Signal Star
Residents of Huron County are
being asked to help preserve the
memories of our war history.
Local writer Jim Rutledge has
been hard at work collecting
information on the war dead of
Huron County - a search that has
now spanned not only provinces, but
continents.
An open call for information
published last year resulted in more
than 800 letters, messages and phone
calls to Rutledge, enabling him to
gather information from people who
knew the 196 veterans who left
Huron County for the Second World
War, never to return.
This time, he is asking for the
public's help in collecting
information on our remaining
veterans, including those from Korea
and Afghanistan.
The information being sought can
be broken down as follows:
-full name, rank, service number,
regiment, ship or squadron,
hometown, where the person
enlisted, where and when they
trained, when and where they were
overseas, when did the person return
to Canada as well as information
about their experiences.
Recently, Rutledge received a
letter from a man in England who
somehow learned of his book and
wanted information on a man he
knew from a Second World War air
base in England. Upon researching
the base, Rutledge was able to add
another four names to the list of
those he is honouring in his book.
"How did he hear about what I
was doing all the way in England?"
asked a surprised Rutledge. The
answer to that question may have to
wait a month or two, as he mailed off
his response just this week.
Over the course of his writing,
Rutledge has come across a few
obstacles. Cost is a huge factor, as is
a need for accuracy and cross
referencing his information.
Currently he is planning a trip to
Ottawa to visit the National Archive.
