I think it was taken in Brigooki,
shortlyt after we "escaped" front
prison camp. We'dn't actually
escape. We just got s and tired
of hanging arouffl and left. .
The blasted war had been ave
for about seven days, and there
we were, stuck behind barbed
wire. The only difference be-
tween that and the situation.
month before was that the guari
up in the sentry boxes were
Russians, instead of Germans.

Bored shy,, Tony and I decided
we'd bad enough of that dump.
So, about four o'clock one morn-
ing, we nipped the wires with a
pair of borrowed wire -clippers,
crawled several hundred feet
through grass (very wet), and
headed for home.
It sounds incredibly daring and
fool -hardy, and it did make the
heart thump a bit, but it wasn't
either of those. It was just stupid.
However, we made it to the
Canadian lines in three days,
hitching and hiking, and, a very
enjoyable time We had of it. In
fact, we caught a plane to Brus-
sels, another to England, and
were there about four days before

He didn't bother about much of
anything, except enielIng We'
He had a big, homely mug,
was a terror with the ladies. He
was strong; -and'totl aid
and .M.Ry.
This may be bard to 'Weve,
but this incident, much 1 person,
ally witnessed, showed what he
Wee made of.
.It was ,Apguat, 1944. One
evening, after flying, we decided
to walk down to the beach in Nor-
mandy, There wasp, ,
laothing.of
interest to do back at the Wing,
and the padres had cleaned up
the tit y. fey supply in the
meas.
At the beach, a Liberty ship
was unloading JeePs. There was a
line of them, parked on the sand,
guarded by two British soldiers.
Tony walked up to one of them
and said, "How much do you
want fora jeep, buddy?" I nearly
fell over.
'Wive quid," responded the
Limey. Tony peeled off: five
notes. He was always flush, as he
was -a gambler and a dealer. He
drove the jeep, away to a place of
privacy, rounded up some paint,
and painted RCAF roundels and
the legend "Canada" on it,
He was the only lowly Flying
Officer to have his own jeep
during the Normandy campaign,
and he made good use of it, spch
as visiting field hospitals. Not to
visit the sick and wounded, but to
date nurses.
We came home on the same
ship. He picked up five hundred
dollars in the twenty-four hour
crap game, lost most of it, built it
back up to 82,000. Haven't seen
him since we landed, but
wherever he is today, I'll bet he's
rich.
Not all the memories are so
pleasant, of course. Three of us
shared a tent in Normandy. We
were all shot down within 10 days,
and I'm the only tone alive:
My parents received three tele-
grams from the Department of
National Defense. Each of them
began, "We regret to inform you
. " One son was blown up by a
land mine, and lost an eye. The
second was missing in action.
The third was shot down over the
Channel. By some strange work-
ing of fate, we're all alive.
But thousands of lads aren't.
Remember them.
