Bowmanville was wcll represent- ed in the good old fashioned way by Lieut. Bihl Brown. Ha gave a good account of bimself. The only thîng wrong was the fact ha was running and jumping for the 5fb Division instead of the 2nd. I was af the final softball gama to decide champions o! the 2nd Can- adian Division. It was won by 4th Cdn. Field Regt. Once again wc werc well representad by Scotty Cameron, Leffy Pbillips, Ron Hooper and some Oshawa boys.

My troop lacks N.C.O.'s and at present there is just a Bdr. anC mysaîf training them. The course I was on was quite fgond but tbey crammed a lot of twork into us in a short time. Mines are interesting but tricky, especially Jerry's when he has trip wires attached. Booby traps are a lot of fun and certainly more entertaining. The scbool course was situated on a very old estate along a valley. Boy! it was pretty! I saw some of the biggest trees I've ever seen in this country. Maybe you have seen news reels of British sappers and in- fantry clearing mine fields in Africa, well we were using ex- actly the same equipment. One night we started at il p.m. to clear a mine field complete with trip wires, etc. When we got it finally cleared it was around 5.30. It was interesting and we banefitted by our mistakes as it was just an exercise. I haven't heard from Hub for quite a while but received a let- ter from Ron. Everything seems to be going Our way at present. Our boys out East have done quite well. Give my regards to all the neighbors, aunts, uncles, etc. Your loving son, ED. C51296 B.S.M. Hooper, Hub. Dear Mom: Two years ago, July 30, we arrived in England. Tbough that's a long time in any man's life I can honestly say they have been two very full ones. Well do I remember my f irst glimpse of Scotland on that day. The port we landed in was recent- ly blitzed. Here and there were indications of terrific damage and loss of life. You could sec it in the streets and on the docks. 1 saw mothers with "Tragedy" written in their faces and the be- wildered look of cbildren too young to understand what it was all about. It made me tbink back to another day and another war wben women and children "didn't fight in the front lines" as they do in this war. I tbanked God that I was born of the generation of that other war-you will remem- ber the "War to end ail Wars." I haven't yet forgotten the spirit of those days, two years ago. Everywbere one could sec the terrifie strain on the civilian population and almost cvery night we beard "Jerry" passing overhead bent on bis "mission of death and destruction." In those days we talked to those same civilians-sympathized with them in the loss of their homes or their loved ones. Yct through At ah, even a stranger like myself, could sec the magnificent courage that seemed to be inbred in ail] Britons. I thought that, though we Canucks bad sacrificed a lot when we left home, our contribu- tion was a minor one when com- pared to the average Englishman. Those were indeed dark days for Bnitain-only we wbo were here could begin to guess just how dark. To-day somehow, as I look back, I can't belp but think that Britain's example in ber darkest hour will go down in history as the one miracle in the lives of this gancration. I'm convinced that the undaunted spirit of the Briton bas donc more for the democratic nations of the world than any one incident before or since. To me it speaks volumes for a nation, wbose masses -ail frea- dom-loving, God-fearing men and women,-could stand up to the Nazi's worst and then go among the ruins of a once bappy home looking for some tiny reminder of those happier days. Now aven as I write this-over- head can be heard the sound of many aircraft. A few moments ago I went outside to sec if they could be seen. But tonigbt wa have no fear. Two years ago we would be saying 'London's catch- ing bell tonigbt." This time and for months now London hasn't been getting sucb publicity. In- stead such places as Essen, Ham- bourg, Mannheim and Cologne are getting the publicity - and how! The only time "Jerry" pays us a visit is to sneak along the coast, perhaps single out a military hos- pitai, a crowded cinema or some old cburch and drop bis few bombs in a burry. He's donc that often, but seldom does be get baék to boast about it. In two years Britain bas ac- complished what no country with a dictator could evar hope to. Churchill today can ha likened t0 a ganaral on a high bill overlok- .ng the whola countryside. He bas only f0 motion or say a few .vords and thasa millions go about their jobs.
