Nova Scotia/Nunavut Command of The Royal Canadian Legion www.ns.legion.ca 141 FARRELL, Michael Joseph “Mike” WWII Mike was born in Glace Bay, NS in 1925. He served overseas with the North Nova Scotia Highlanders during World War II. He landed in England then fought across France and Belgium into Germany. In March 1945, Mike was shot in the back of the head by a sniper bullet. His fellow soldier loaded him in a wheelbarrow and got him to the nearest aid station. He was patched up and sent to England where he woke six weeks later unable to walk, read or write. Doctors told him he was partially paralyzed and may never regain the use of his legs, but with sheer determination and a healthy stubbornness, he endured the pain and forced his body to relearn all it had lost. He remained partially paralyzed on the right side of his body, but he never let that stop him from doing anything. Mike passed away in 2012.
