The Royal Canadian Legion NOVA SCOTIA / NUNAVUT COMMAND VETERANS’ SERVICE RECOGNITION BOOKLET Volume Eight Springhill Branch #017 Cenotaph Springhill, NS
“We Support Those Who Serve” On behalf of the Province of Nova Scotia, I would like to thank our Nova Scotia Legion members, military personnel and their families for the enormous contributions and sacrifices they have made, and continue to make, for our great country. Nova Scotia has always had a strong tradition of supporting Canada’s fighting men and women. This year marks the 70th anniversary of Canada’s raid on Dieppe, France during the Second World War. Nearly 5,000 Canadian soldiers stormed the French shore in the Battle of Dieppe. Less than half of them returned to Canada. All of them fought bravely. The province is proud of the women and men who serve – and who have served – in the Canadian Armed Forces. I want to extend our heartfelt appreciation for the contributions they make abroad and at home with their families, in communities throughout Nova Scotia. Premier Darrell Dexter

What a wonderful way to celebrate our veterans, both those who served and those who are still serving. The heart of this great country has been shaped by these wonderful men and women. They are our history and our legacy. Canada is known around the world as a peaceful, content and tolerant country because of our military. Our children and grandchildren can celebrate their heritage within these pages and be proud of the stock they came from. Savor every minute as you leisurely turn the pages of this exceptional piece of Canadiana and take time to thank every veteran you come across in your travels. To Comrade Steve Wessel, your devotion to this project makes Nova Scotia/Nunavut Command so proud. We thank you once again for keeping our military history in the forefront. In Comradeship, Jean Marie Deveaux President NS/NU Command

Nova Scotia/Nunavut Command of The Royal Canadian Legion www.ns.legion.ca 5 Project Chairman’s Message As Chairman of this important project, it is truly an honour to present Volume 8 of our Veterans’ Service Recognition Book series on behalf of the Executive Council and membership of Nova Scotia / Nunavut Command of The Royal Canadian Legion to honour the lives and deeds of our Veterans. When we began this project nine years ago, it was with more than a little trepidation and nervousness - would our Legion membership, the general public and our local businesses across Nova Scotia accept and support the concept of this book? The answer has been a consistent YES! Since our first edition, copies of this series of books have been sent to all public and school libraries across Nova Scotia and have become a research tool for our younger generations. As Legionnaires, we must keep the spirit of Remembrance alive in the hearts and minds of our youth and the general public. These books are but a small contribution to that effort. I am always amazed at the generosity of the people of Nova Scotia and would like to again thank all the Legion Branches and individuals who continue to honour our Veterans by submitting their biographies and photos (a submission form can be found in the back of this book) and would like to thank all our advertising sponsors for their support of this project. I would like to extend our sincere thanks to Fenety Marketing for their continuing support in the production of these books and together with NS/NU Command, we look forward to issuing Volume 9 in the Fall of 2013. In Comradeship, Steve Wessel Project Chairman

Military Service Recognition Booklet 8 Call us today to ask about our AED training and a ordable, easy to use AED units. AEDs - Lifesaving made simple About 40,000 Canadians experience cardiac arrest every year. That’s one cardiac arrest every 12 minutes. Defibrillation improves survival rates by up to 30% if delivered in the first few minutes. Making defibrillators easily accessible has the potential to save thousands of lives. AEDs are safe and easy to use but can be more effectively used once you have been trained on how to perform CPR and use an AED. With proper training and awareness, it is very effective in saving lives of those in cardiac arrest. Do you have a defibrillator at your workplace or home?
