June 6, 1951 Korea Bombardier September 1954 |
“I enlisted in the Service and became part of the Bdr SA 1616 216 Battery RCHA. We embarked for Korea in April 1953 and returned to Canada in May 1954.
War is not a fun game. The most traumatic experience was to witness our fellow comrades being killed or wounded in action. Also to see the Korean children and elders without adequate food or clothing during the seasons and suffering the hardships caused by the war.
Upon my revisit to Korea in 2008, I was amazed at the great changes over the years. That was when “I” realized that our contribution toward peace was not in vain.”
