A Rememberance Day Message His name was War- ren but we called him Bing. Oh, he didn't look like Bing Crosby; his face was too round and he was too tall, but we thought he could sing like Bing Crosby. He was always singing. And if he wasn't singing, it seemed like he was whistling his way home down the darkened street of our little town. He was always vol- unteering. At the school dances he was the one boy who always volun- teered to dance with Miss Davidson. He was one of those kids that makes a school live. The year he was our student council president was a very happy one for all of us. Though there were only 65 of us, we and our four teachers had a year- book, a school play, a football team that never won and a hockey team that never lost, and a real sense of belonging. It was 1942 and War- ren was 18 in Grade 12. The war was on and Warren volunteered for the Air Force and was accepted on condition that his teachers cer- tify that he had earned the equivalent of a Grade 12 diploma. Now Warren was just an average student and he was failing in Latin. Faced with Warren's en- thusiastic desire to join the Air Force, the Latin teacher called him in and asked Warren to tell him all the Latin he knew. It didn't take long! The next day War- ren wrote a Latin exam and found questions that were remarkably close to his small store of knowledge. He passed his Latin exam, joined the Air Force and became an Air Gunner, first with 424 Squadron flying in Halifaxes and then, in. May 1944, he and 'his crew transferred to 405 Squadron flying in Lan- casters. By June of 1944 he had safely completed over 20 missions includ- ing the disastrous raid on Nuremburg March 30, 1944.

However, though attacked by a German night fighter, Warren and his crew evaded the attack and returnedto base safely. On June 6 the Allies invaded Normandy. By the middle of June, Al- lied forces were facing stiff German resistance. It was crucial that Ger- man supply lines be cut at Lens near Arras in Northern France. On June 16 Warren's crew successfully bombed the railway yards at Lens, but on the way back, his plane was hit by shells from a German night fighter. From the window of their farmhouse on the edge of the little French village of Carency, Mon- sieur Galvaire and his wife and young daught- er watched the flaming aircraft struggle across the sky. On the oppo- site side of the village, Madame Correille saw it explode, break into two pieces and crash in a farmer's field. When she got to the burning plane, Madame Correille saw that three airmen were still in the wreck. Warren and three others were thrown clear with their parachutes unused. One 'of the crew was missing. The next afternoon, as he was working in his field, Monsieur Gal- vaire discovered the pilot, unharmed ex- cept for a slight cut on his hand, hiding in a woods nearby. At great . personal _ risk, Monsieur Galvaire hid the pilot in his house for three days until he could be secretly ' escorted back to England. FUNERAL Largely attended funeral ser- vices for George "Short" Scott, age 62, who died on Nov. 4th were held at St. An- drew's United Church, Schreiber on Wednesday, Nov. 7th with Rev. Lowry and Father Peter Groulx, jointly assisting. Dorothy Lengyl was organist and the Church Choir was in attendance, singing a special Hymn in tribute to Short, a former choir member. Services were attended by many family members, felatives and friends. Honourary Pallbearers were Joe Caccamo, Bob Spadoni, Bob Ellacott, Harry Prescott and Tony Costa. Active pallbearers, all nephews, were Ronald Gordon & Mark Fummerton, Dana & Brad Cook and Michael Stortini. CACCAMO -- Mrs. Clara Caccamo, age 87 years, of 332 Harvard St., Thunder Bay, and formerly of Schreiber, passed away at McKellar Hospital, Thunder Bay, on Sunday, Nov. 11. 1984. Born in Torino, she came to Canada at the age of 16 and resided at White River. She was married to the late Tony. Caccamo and together were owners of Caccamo's Lid., for over 50 years. Survived by three sons: Joseph and Gino, both of Schreiber, and Jack of Thunder Bay; also 12 grandchildren, and _ five great grandchildren. Predeceased by her parents, husband Tony, son Hugo, brothers, Mauro, Joe and Carlo, sisters, Rosa, Adeline, and Maria. Resting at the King Funeral Home, Schreiber. Funeral Mass last Tuesday at 11 a.m. from Holy Angels Roman Catholic Church. Interment in Schreiber Cemetery. Meanwhile, back at the crash site, Madame Correille had given all that she could of' love and her nurse's train- ing. But it was nat. enough. On a beautiful June evening, in a field near a French village that he had never heard of, at the age of 20, Warren died. Today is Remember- ance Day. In Carency, Madame Correille lies peacefully in the vil- lage church yard. Until her death in 1976 she prayed daily for "her Canadian boys." On the edge of the village, Monsieur Galvaire, now over 80, will think again of the young Canadian, life he saved. From his kitchen windown he can 'see the tower of the French war memorial of Notre Dame de Lor- rette and beyond it, the tips of the twin towers of the Canadian memorial on Vimy Ridge, each a reminder of the sactri- fices of an earlier war. Not far away, on the French coast near Ca- lais, Warren lies with his five crew members and 800 other Cana- dians in a military cem- etery. On a clear day from this place one can see the sparkling waters of the English Channel Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, November 21, 1984, page 3 Birchwood and, beyond, the White Cliffs of Dover. Today is Remem- brance Day. Across this nation people will gather and remember. Some- where a middle-aged- where a middle-aged ex- bomber pilot will again remember June 16, 1944, In truth he will never be able to forget it. In Richmond Hill a successful young bus- inessman may pause to ask his father again about the young airman after whom = he_ was named. In Toronto an elderly retired Latin teacher will reflect again about that examination and his fateful decision in 1942. Young people who gather at cenotaphs on November 11 will note that most of us who are there seem old. And perhaps they will con- clude that we are re- membering old events and old people who lived or died in them. But, in bittersweet intensity, we are remembering our youth. We are remem- bering friends like Warren. He was 20 and he sang like Bing Cros- by. "Born of the sun he travelled a short while towards the sun, And left the vivid air signed his honor."' Remembers Remembrance Day was observed by the residents of Birchwood Terrace Sunday morn- ing assisted by members of the Birchwood Aux- iliary. March On of colours was conducted by Addie Beaulieu, President of the Legion Auxiliary and by Harry Gusul of the Royal Can- adian Legion Branch No. 223, and two Brownies with their colours, Mel- issa Helmink and Lind- say Davis. The National Anthem was followed by a prayer led by Peggy Thompson. Lillian Bel- 'eau read 'In Flan- ders Field'? and Ger- trude Cotton gave a reading, "Thoughts". Another poem was read by resident Blanche Speck and Auxiliary President Pam Jones led in prayer and read a poem.
