We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders Fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though Poppies grow In Flanders Fields. Author- John McCrae Ode of Rememberance They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them. from the poem “For the Fallen” by Robert Laurence Binyon I will gladly add any names you know of here, if they served and are from the Terrace Area WWI Veterans WWI Local Soldiers Sam Kirkaldy - seated front left.

My Grandfather, Clarence Pearson Dunphy who lived in Terrace BC from sometime in the 1950's to his death in February 2002. Initially, I believe, he was in a militia unit but then enlisted in the Canadian Army December 16th 1940 and was assigned to the 14th A.A. Battery in Halifax, Nova Scotia. As he enlisted as General Service (GS), he was sent overseas in July 18th 1944 to the U.K. and then was landed in Northwest Europe (France) November 18th 1944. Upon arrival in Europe, he was re-assigned as a 2nd on the Bren, 'A' Company, Queens Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada (Rgt), 6th Infantry Brigade of the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division and fought in Holland and Germany. He was wounded February 5th 1945 when the jeep he was travelling in hit a mine or unexploded demolition charge (his explanation) during an attack. He spent the next month recovering in hospital before being returned to duty in March. He was then returned to Canada in April before being discharged in May 16th 1945. He was the recipient of: The 1939-45 Star awarded for six months service on active operations between Sep39 and May 1945. The France and Germany Star for service in France/Holland /Germany between June 1944-March 1945. The Defence Medal for service in the U.K. 1939-1945.
