Dick Wright Home After 5 Years Overseas After he had reached the 5th mon>h in the 6th year of continu- ous service with the Canadiar A r m y, Pte. William Richard (Dick) Wright arrived at his home in Bowmanville last week glad to be home among a host o: friends equally glad to greet him, Dick is 31, eldest son of Mr. anc Mrs. Thomas Wright who have three other sons in the armed ser- vices. Thomas Wright, a veterar of the last war, lost a leg in action. a sacrifice which prevented hin- joining his sons in this war. Dick enlisted in September 1939, as one of the originals with the Hastings and Prince Edward Regt., among whom were Len Austin, Sgt. Russell Candler and Bob Hayes, all of Bowmanville, He trained with the infantry sig- nallers and served in England until July, 1943. He entered ac- tion in Sicily, July 10, 1943, with the lst Division, lst Brigade, and in a forward battle was buried by a shell which killed an of- ficer at his side. Shell shocked, fie spent a period in hospital and was transferred on return to duty. Since then he has been with No. 2 Canadian Malaria Control Unit of the Medical Corps and is stili on its strength. Granted home leave he left Naples, Feb. 27, 1945, coming direct to New York, on a voyage that lasted 22 days. He arrived in Trenton, March 21, and came on home from there. Prior to enlisting he was for five years with the Goodyear Compan« Prior to enlisting Dick was married to Miss Jean Genereaux of Carrying Place, andshe and their two cbildren, Wayne 7, and Dick 6, were overjoyed at the happy reunion which embraced the entire Wright family af home. Another brother, Pte. R o s s Wright, serving with the H. and P.E.'s was blown up in action and is now serving as batman to the A.D.C. of the G.O.C. in Germany. The other brother, LAC Don Wright is with the R.C.A.F. in England. At home in Bowman- ville other members of the family are four sisters, (Doris) Mrs. Wm. Davis (whosehusband is at De- bert, N.S., awaiting orders to go overseas), Rachel and Joan at the Goodyear Co., and Doreen at school. Asked for general impressions at the front, Dick had great praise for the Red Cross and the people who contributed in send- ing parcels. He said, "I'd sooner see mail come up to the front than rations". For Dick a full-voiced community welcome home is ex- pressed by The Statesman. Old Time Bali Player Gives Four Sons To The Armed Services Back in the days when today's hardball was known simply as baseball, one of its chief expon- ents, locally, was John Normile of Oshawa. Talking of old time players the other day, John, who was known as "Brandy" Normile by contemporaries Spud Wilcox, the Hoopers, Martyns and Os- bornes and others of that era, ex- pressed his opinion that baseball would be revived in full bloom after the war. It was found that he had en- couraged his four sons to take up the game and keep it alive but at the moment not one of them had time for baseball. All were en- gaged in a tougher game save one who lies buried in Italy. When war broke the boys joined up in, succession leaving Mr. and Mrs. Normile at home in a house that grew progressively quiet. Bob joined the Royal Regiment, later became a Corporal with the Tanks in Italy after four years, eight months in Iceland. He fell,, wounded in the head, in a tank charge aVd is recovering. Pat fought with the Hastings and Prince Edward's in Italy, was also wounded, and met brother Bob in hospital after both had been on active service more than five years. Recovered and back in the line Pat was killed in action. Gregg, the youngest son and a former star hockey player was also wounded in Italy and now is back in action with the Canadians in Germany. Dan, the last of the quartette, a noted baseball catch- er, was the mechanical genius of the family and is instructing with the mechanical transport at Camp Borden. Many in Bowmanville will recall the Normiles, father and sons, in s p o r t circles. Brandy's parting word was "Re- member me to Spud Wilcox, hope to see him at the diamond this summer." Production by Canada's chemi- cal industries reached an all-time high in 1943 when the value of chemicals and allied products for that year topped $765,000,000. The Commando, famed Liber- ator plané, has completed the first world-girdling flight that or- iginated in Canada. The Cpm- mando travelled 44,496 mileg in 234 hours and 28 minutes. BACK TO CIVIL LIFE Lieut.-CoI. A. H. Bounsall Now that the defence of Cana- dian coasts and Canadian terri- tory has become a remote con- tingency in the present war, the retention of Brigade Groups at home is no longer a matter of military policy. They are there- fore being broken up and many of the officers who have served in them for the past five years are being returned to civil life. Among them is Lieut.-Col. A. H. (Bert) Bounsall, Bowmanville, who has been Commanding Of- ficer of the 2nd Midiand Battalion with headquarters at Millbrook. Col. Bounsallbas built up one of the most efficient Militia Units in Ontario from which have been recruited scores of soldiers now serving overseas. He returns to the Reserve of Officers at the end of March. In a letter to the editor, Col. Bounsal speaks with high praise of many of the 2nd Midlands wbo have won distinction in the arm- ed services overseas, and no mat- ter with what units they have servedthe Colonel states they wiii stili be the "Mad Midlands" wherever they go. He encloses with his letter a 16- page booklet compiled by himself, which is a history if "The Mad Midlands". The story is an in- spiring one, written in inimitable style and it is hoped that suffici- ent copies have been printed for general distribution among the rank and file. It wiii be review- rd later in The Statesman. Mean- time, we shall be happy to wel- come Bert Bounsall back to civil ife in his native town. l Solina Visitors: Mr. and Mrs. Jim Hogarth, Hampton, at Mr. Thos. Baker's. . .
