Dear DaddyA Remembrance Day Poem

by Kyleigh Lampard

Dear Daddy, why must you carry a gun?Why is it that the house shakes and the ground quakes and mother cries for you like you're gone forever? Are you coming home soon?Will you be here for birthdays, Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas?Do I put your present under our tree or label it with stamps and wrap it in brown paper to protect it from the ash and tears, send it wrapped in my love? I hope it stays under the tree.

Dear Daddy,why must we hide underground?Why has hide and seek become mother's favorite game and why does she get so

happy when we can come out and say we won the game for today?Why do bright lights shine in my window while I sleep, and men with straight faces pass me in the streets, and men with big boots drive by in jeeps, and why does mother listen to the radio and weep?And daddy do I put your present under our tree or label it with stamps and wrap it in brown paper to protect it from the ash and tears,send it wrapped in my love? I hope it stays under the tree.

Dear Daddy, why can't I play with the sun anymore? Why can't I go out and run anymore?Why can't we have any fun anymore?Why am I to go to school and come home without getting sweets from the shop or jumping rope with the other girls and boys?Where did they all go?And daddy, you really must tell me, do I put your present under our tree or label it with stamps and wrap it in brown paper to protect it from the ash and tears, send it wrapped in my love?I hope it stays under the tree.

Dear Daddy, why hasn't Santa written back this year?I wrote a letter with a return address and have spent my time waiting for a reply. I've been a good girl,a smart girl, a patient girl,a loving girl. I only had one wish this year.But daddy one more thing, do I put your

present under our tree or label it with stamps and wrap it in brown paper to protect it from the ash and tears, send it wrapped in my love?I hope it stays under the tree.

Dear Daddy, I had a dream last night.The wonderful kind of dream where everyone smiles and I can smell motor oil, tobacco, musky cologne and maple syrup.I miss the way you smell daddy.I miss the way you smile, laugh loud at my jokes while mother shakes her head, kiss me goodnight and send me to bed.I miss the way you hold my hand as we cross the street not because there is a car in sight but because you know you won't be able to hold on forever.I miss the way you sneak sugar into my cereal and stare out the window every morning with one eye closed and switch because "Anyone can be an eye doctor but only I know if I can see."I had a wonderful dream that smelled like your memory.I dreamed that I put your present under our tree and labeled it not with stamps but with hugs and kisses and wrapped it in green paper to protect it from peeping eyes and impatience, wrapped in my love.I hope it stays under the tree.

Dear Daddy, come home and open your present under the tree.Wrapped in my love, for you from me.

pass me in the streets, and men with big boots drive by in jeeps, and why does mother listen to the radio and weep?And daddy do I put your present under our tree or label it with stamps and wrap it in brown paper to protect it from the ash and tears,send it wrapped in my love? I hope it stays under the tree.

Dear Daddy, why can't I play with the sun anymore? Why can't I go out and run anymore?Why can't we have any fun anymore?Why am I to go to school and come home

CARA BRADY

The Army Navy Air Force Veterans (ANAF) is the the oldest veterans’ association in Canada. It received a charter from Queen Victoria in 1840 when there were only army and navy veterans. Some people think that units existed well before that time, as ear-ly as the Conquest of New France in the 1700s. Remnants of colonial reg-iments were left behind and banded together to exchange information and were known as the Army Veterans in Canada.

They were later joined by War of 1812 navy veterans and the name changed to The Army and Navy Veter-ans in Canada. Following the Second World War, the name was changed to The Army Navy Air Force Veterans in Canada with the short form ANAVETS.

Vernon Unit #5, established in 1917, is the oldest unit in B.C. and became more active in 1970. The unit leased space in the old Bulman’s Fruit Can-nery on 28th Avenue which burned down. Fortunately, all the official doc-

uments were rescued. The present building at 2500-46th Ave-nue was officially opened Oct. 9, 1982. The Ladies Auxiliary started April 28, 1982. The scale model of the Spitfire on top of the build-ing was dedicat-ed Oct. 25, 1993. The not-for-profit service club has almost 300 mem-bers in Vernon.

“My job is to make sure that the club is here for veterans and non-veterans, any-one over 19 can now join,” said presi-dent Alan Pothecary.

“We also do as much as we can to help veterans get the information and services they need, like the veterans’

meal program and help with pensions and other issues.”

Alan McMahon, a Korean War veteran, is the Veterans’ Outreach Service Officer.

“Sometimes veterans find it hard to get the information they need. We help them find out where to start,” he said. He also organizes a Korean War Veterans Association lunch meeting once a month at the club. All Korean War veterans are welcome, whether they are ANAF members or not.

The ANAF and Ladies Auxiliary are active in the community supporting local cadet groups, sports teams and providing bursaries for members’ chil-dren. The group donated more than $30,000 in the community last year.

“The members are like family. You can be very busy here volunteering if you want to,” said Susan Ingraham, public relations officer.

“Remembrance Day is one of our busiest days with people going to services, then coming here for beef stew lunch (by donation) and to hear entertainment. Accompanied minors are welcome that day, children with parents or grandparents.”For more information about member-

ship and public events at the ANAF club and veterans’ benefits and ser-vices, call 250-542-3277.

Life at sea was a boy-hood fantasy for Dick Green.

“We didn’t know any-thing about it, it was a dream, something we read about and heard on the radio,” he said.

He was born in Wigan, Lancashire and left England with his family in 1927 when he was five years old. His father worked coal mining in Luscar, Alta. and by the time Green was 18, he had moved to Vancouver and was working in the shipyards building freighters.

When the Second

World War started in 1939, he and his younger twin broth-ers all joined the Royal Canadian Navy. Green was sent to join Anti-Submarine Detection Incorporated Corps (ASDIC) and spent six months patrolling on the HMS Courtenay from Prince Rupert.

Then it was on to Halifax for more train-ing.

“One night we were put on a train not knowing where we were going and three days later we were in South Carolina where we picked up a British cruiser, HMS Arethusa, and were on our way to Scotland,” said Green.

He was put on duty on the HMCS Algonquin, a destroyer that was 360 feet long with a crew of 250. The Algonquin was part of a convoy of 48 ships bringing tanks, oil and supplies to Russia in 1944.

“There was constant danger from submarines and planes because the Germans had air bases in Norway,” he said, adding that one good thing was that he was able to visit his grand-parents and other fam-ily members in England while he was there.

The Algonquin was one of the ships that took Canadian troops to Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944.

“We were in England and it was all very secre-tive. All of a sudden, on June 5, we were told to get our gear together and we knew we were going to France. When we got there at 4:30 a.m. it was still dark. We were about a block from the beach maybe

and laying gunfire on the beach ahead of the soldiers landing. We shot every shell we had after about four hours. So many died,” he said.

“I would never want to see anything like that again. All those people killed.”

The ship stayed in the area until August to patrol then went to Scapa Flow, a naval base in the north of Scotland, and took part in a sec-ond convoy to Russia in September.

Green received a medal of recogni-tion from the Russian government in hon-our of his service on the Murmansk Run, bringing supplies 4,000 miles across the top of Scandinavia from Great Britain to Russia during

the war. He also received the Government of Russia Ushakov Medal for his convoy duty.

Green had signed up for duty in the Far East and returned to Canada to prepare but was not needed there. He was on leave in Vancouver on VE Day May 8, 1945.

“It was exhilarat-ing. Everyone was very happy and it was a big celebration. My twin brothers also made it through the war. I think people should know more about the war so they don’t make those mistakes again. I wouldn’t want to do it again.”

Green and his wife, Evlyn, worked in the hospitality industry until they retired to Vernon in 1993.

Remembering D-Day

CARA BRADY

It was June 6, 1944. the day history re-members as D-Day. Gunner Mike Roth, one of more than 155,000 Allied Forces servicemen, waited while minesweepers cleared the water and aircraft dropped bombs on the enemy onshore.

“The Germans were firing back all the time. We had trained for this day, but when the bullets started flying, we learned a lot more. The infantry waded ashore. The tanks were waterproof so we could drive them on shore,” Roth re-called. “There were so many men going ashore that we didn’t get off the ship until the next day. I was very scared. Every-one was.”

There were 5,000 ships, 50,000 vehi-cles of all kinds and 11,000 planes in the operation with servicemen from Canada, Great Britain, United States, French Re-sistance and Polish Army. The Canadians were to take Juno Beach, an eight-kilo-metrre stretch of the shore in the middle of action, near Caen, France, inland.

Roth, 97, who was married and had a year-old son, joined the Canadian Army. Fourth Division, Fourth Armoured Bri-gade, C Company, C Platoon, Section C, in 1941 in North Battleford, Sask., and spent three years training in England.

About five years ago, he started to compile a history of his experiences from personal memories, photos and maps, photos and information from the Canadi-an war archives.

“I’ve had to work on this over time. I couldn’t go too deep or I would break. I know how to keep away from that,” he said.

He has one souvenir that he will nev-er forget — a groove on the top of his head from a German shell that pierced his helmet.

“I gave them back better than I got,” he said. “We always had to be alert for the different sounds of each plane and gun and we learned how to dig a hole really quick. And how to get the tanks out when they got stuck. The civilian population had fled and everything was destroyed. We lived on rations, a kind of chocolate bar with vitamins in it and kept going. German soldiers were surrendering from

the start of the in-vasion and we’d just send them be-hind us and push ahead. We saw that we were mak-ing a difference from the start. We were part of the spearhead.”

HIs photos show the daily life of the troops as they kept fighting — someone found a guitar and took time to play it, the men took a break to smoke, they walked through deserted villages, surrounded by rich fields lying untended.

Roth’s company took part in the Falaise Gap tank battle, in the area that came to be known as death row by the Germans. On July 25, 1944, the tanks were bombed three time by Americans.

“We lost men and equipment. You can expect some error but it sure slowed us down. Some days we made progress and other days nothing moved. The Ger-mans would go back and then set up a little scrap of some kind to slow us down.”

By September, they were in Belgium.“Things went pretty fast in Belgium and

prisoners were easy to get.”They made Nimegen, Holland a winter

base and fought from there. A bridge was built across the Rhine in April.

“The German cities were well-built and clean but there were few civilians. We went back to Holland and people came out on the streets to welcome us. They climbed on the tanks. They celebrated even though they had nothing to cele-brate with. We left our rations for them.”

The soldiers had their own celebration when they dug a hole for a latrine and found cases of wine buried.

“We had a good time until the officers came and took the wine away,” said Roth.

The ceasefire was signed at Waa-

geningen, Holland, May 5, 1945 and Roth was on his way back to Canada in September, after a holiday in Paris with French-Canadian comrades.

“I stepped off the train at home and there was my wife and my son I hadn’t seen in four years and other relatives.”

He stayed on as a military engineer and retired as a staff sergeant, then went to university and became an industrial arts teacher. He found better offers of work in industry, moved to B.C. in 1968 and retired from B.C. Hydro later.

Roth is pleased that his great-grandaughter, Lara Hayward of Ab-botsford, is interested in learning about his experiences and did an interview with him for her local paper.

“I hope that all this material, how I’ve put together the information and what happened to me personally, will be used in schools somehow, somewhere. I want teachers and anyone else who is inter-ested to have this.”

He collects information and photos of new veterans who move into his building so that they can be honoured on a wall in the lobby.
