PAGE TEN 1 THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1946 Dunkirk Epic Told in Detail By Survivor Now Working in G.M. Despite 17 Gun Wounds (Continued from Page 1) California factory where he was employed when Britain declared war on Germany on Saturday, Sept. 3, 1939. Taking a plane north. of Van- eouver, he was back in the uniform of his 1914-18 regiment, the Sea- forth Highlanders of Canada. on Tuesday, September 5, resuming his rank as sergeant. Bren Gun Expert _ Mr. McLelland proceeded over- seas with the First Division, C.A. SF. and was one of 250 Canadian officers and men, experts in vari- ous lines, selected for special ser vice with the British Army sent to join up with Belgian forces com- manded by Leopold II, the king of the Belgians and generalissimo of its army. Sgt. McLelland's special- ity was the Bren machine gun. { Pending establishment of their own home, Mr. and Mrs. McLelland | are living in Oshawa at 364 Simcoe | St. South, with their baby daughter, | Victoria, who is also a veteran of the Battle of Britain. The baby | and Mrs. McLelland went to Eng- land in February of this year. Both know all about air raids, and Vic- toria, on hearing sudden loud noises, | cries "Bomb, bomb!" and rather wonders, perhaps, why there are no air raid sirens and rushing for shelters. Named For Yukon Pal | Victoria great Queen who bore that name. | Instead, she was named for Mr. Mc- Telland's No. 1 Chum in the war of 1914-18, and since well known as a prospector in British Columbia and the Yukon. That friend is named Victor, and the idea was to name the first born of Mr. McLelland's family after him. That was done, as planned, except for the addition- al syllable to mark the first born's being a lovely girl baby and not a boy. "It was some three days after the Belgian Army had surrendered that we of the rank and file knew about is not named for the | #t." Mr. McLelland told The Oshawa | Daily Times in a week-end inter- view. "It is easy to be critical after she event, but I do think that our own staff work wasn't so good. "Our Canadian group of 250 men picked for special training, and in anticipation of the First Division's going to France, were attached to the Manchester Regiment and it was one grand bunch of fellows. "When we knew that our flank had dissolved through treachery, our army had two courses open to it. One was to extend lines and try to contact the French towards the south and east. The other course was to retreat towards the coast. Decide To Retreat "It was decided to retreat and I think it was a fortunate decision in view of what happened later to the French. when it was known that the Bel- glan army had capitulated. "We fell back along the Ostend- Dunkirk highway in good order, a distance of about 22 miles. We had Germans behind us and Ger- mans ahead of us. "The enemy force between us and Punkirk was merely a flying oolumn. We fought through it and gol close to the port from which we were to be evacuated. "Then came the order, the night before, to throw away equipment and march on to the Dunkirk beaches for evacuation with no armament of any kind. Order Resented "We resented that order at the filme, and if we had been armed | noon's parade to Memorial Park for | on the beaches, we would have given the Germans much more to remember than their murdering unarmed fugitives. "However, the idea was to make Yoom for the great number of men possible. pn the evacuation vessels. "We waded out to barges and it was there that I got 17 of my wounds." Side by side with his brother, George, Sgt. McLelland waded out fo the barge. It was while they were climbing on it that a dive bomber machine gunned the men. George McLelland died almost in- stantly of his wound and fell into the sea, Angus, the brother now in Oshawa, reached for him and caught a burst of machine gun fire along his right arm. The wounds individually, were not very serious: but taken together, with another severe wound and exposure in the open sea for 11 hours, his return to Canada reminds again that the evacuation of British forces from Dunkirk was miraculous in more ways than one. Licensed For 200 Wounded as he was, Mr. McLel- land stood with other comrades on the little cross channel steamer to which the barge took them. He re- members seeine a sign: "Licensed to carry 200". He believes that 1,000 men were on board "Standing to- gether like sardines." The overladen vessel had steamed toward England for less than an hour when a giant bomb from a German aeroplane struck it and split the vessel in two. In less than two minutes, all were in the sea. Sgt. McLelland believes that 60 per cent perished, After swimming about with his 17 arm wounds, now increased to 18 hy a body wound received in the axvlosion and sinking of their res- eye vessel, Mr, McLelland managed to get to a wooden hatch cover and he and about 13 other clung to it for hours. Some slipped awav dur- ing the night. Five died later on the destrover that picked them up. Their rescue by H.M. Destroyer stamped on Mr. McLelland's mem- ton behalf of We were about one | and a half kilometers from Ostend | 114 came after an estimated 11 hours in the sea. Two things, are particularly, ory. One was seeing the bodies of women and children dead beside the Ostend-Dunkirk Highway where they had been machine gunned by German flyers. The other was the English Channel lying like a mill pond under lowering skies and a Flanders' mist. "If the Channel had been stormy" he stated, "few would have got back to England," he said. That was the Miracle of the Dunkirk evacuation which came so swiftly, it seemed, to answer the Empire call to prayer bv His Majesty when the full fury of German acgression began to break upon Holland, Belgium and France. Mr. McLelland was born in Glen- garry County, Ontario. Mrs. Mec- Lelland was Miss Gladys O'Leary | of British Columbia. Victoria, the baby veteran of the Battle of Eng- land will be two years' old on Dec. | 16 of this year. The family are Presbyterians and were speciallv invited to attend Sunday night's church parade of Oshawa veterans of 1914-18 at Knox | Presbyterian Church of which the Rev. W. Harold Reid. MA. is the | minister. Mr. and Mrs. McLelland were especially invited to attend the Armistice Service there bv him the church officers {and congregation. Upheld British Traditions { Mr. McLelland remembers his | British comrades of the. Dunkirk evacuation with the pride of one privileged to serve with them. 'Most {of them reached England with their { fighting spirit enhanced by their experience," he sald. "No one felt that it was a defeat or close to it. { They upheld Britain's noblest tra- ditions, 2nd - due. to them this Empire was given a breathing space." Mr. McLelland landed at Folke- stone and soon was in hospital but {the Germans were after him. It was bombed and had to be evacu- ated. Mrs. McLelland refused to leave without her husband. | thou goest, I will go." She stayed through the worst of the German air attacks until close |to the end of October when McLelland returned on a hospital {ship and she came home on one vessel of a great convoy Arrived at an Eastern Canadian port, they passed vessels convoyed by former United States destroyers. and the man who lived through the glory and tragedy of Dunkirk. in which he lost a beloved brother sees in the unity of the En 1 vation of Christian civilization. WAR VETERANS CONGRATULATED ONSUNDAY PARADE | Most Disciplined Turnout and Impressive Service, Says Police Inspector Organized war veterans of Osh- awa, who attended Sunday after- an open air service around the Civic War Memorial (1914-18), were | complimented and warmly congrat- ulated by Inspector W, W. Dawn of the Oshawa police, in charge of traffic arrangements for the dem- onstration. *who declared that he never had seen a more disciplined turn out of veterans or a more im- pressively beautiful service. In' turn, W. R. Elliott, acting pre- sident of Canadian Legion Branch No. 43, and chief of the Oshawa Fire Department, told The Oshawa Daily Times that the service of police in controlling traffic for the parade from the Ontario Regiment Armories to Memorial Park and re. turn was a model of efficiency. He stated that a letter expressing ap- preciation.will be forwarded to Chief , Constable O. D. Friend. Firemen took part in the Remem- brance Day parade as a unit, but Oshawa police, most of whom are veterans of active service in 1914-18, were on duty either in handling par- ade traffic or attending to patrols. This necessitated the calling in of men off duty who volunteered to a man for the extra work. Conant Expresses Regret Not In Oshawa Sunday In a letter to A. J. Graves, chair- man of the Remembrance Day ser- vices, the Hon. Gordon D. Conant, Attorney-General, expressed his regret at being unable to attend the Oshawa event owing to a change in the day here and his having made an engagement to speak at Oakville on Sunday. In closing his letter to Mr. Graves, the Attorney- General says: "On, the annivers- ary of the day when the Great War ended, let us hope and pray that the time may not be far distant when once again the forces strug- gling to uphold liberty, justice and christian' civilization will be trium- phant," ; | from one abidin~ =- [right in serving Britain.® : Their heroic married life is based | on, the pledge of Ruth--'Whither Mr. | speaking people the hone and sal- | PUBLIC MEMORIAL SERVICE PLANNED FOR CHAMBERLAIN (Continued from Page 1) Chamberlain as an "honest states- man" who did his best to save peace without attempting to sidestep cri- ticism of the results of his policies were the first tributes paid publicly. King George and Queen Elizabeth headed the list of many who sent private messages to the family. During his illness they recently spent an hour at his bedside. Official tributes awaited the next session of parliament when Cham- berlain's staunch friend, Winston Churchill, who succeeded him as prime minister, will speak in his honor along with other senior statesmen. Under a heading "He served Bri- ain," the Daily: Mail said today "Neville Chamberlain will be re- membered as a sincere, high-mind- ed, steadfast statesman. His suc- cesses and his failures all sprang "'=s--to serv The Times sald of Chamberlain's efforts to reach a peace understand- ing with totalitarian leaders: -- "We know now that what he at- tempted no man could have achiev- ed, but against organized evil with which he was fated to contend the work which he did for his country will shine in its sincerity more and more strongly as the years pass." Chamberlain's death revived ru- mors in political circles of new changes in the government. It was suggested that his long- time associate, Lord Halifax, be shifted from the foreign office to the India office. There, the Daily Herald (Labor) sald, he would be "probably better qualified than anyone to heal the present lament- able breach" with India, These reports also mentioned War Secretary Anthony Eden, who | broke with Chamberlain over the appeasement program, as the possi- ble successor to Lord Halifax in the foreign office.

Royal Air Force Spitfires and Hurricanes hammered at the formations all the way from the coast to the capital. The all-clear signal ending Lon- don's first daylight alarm sounded after a short time "hut a second alert came within a few minutes. An all-clear signal heralded the end of the second raid of the day shortly pefore noon. Roof-top observers estimeted that German bombers roared over the city last night at a one-a-minute clip, pounding away with high ex- plosive bombs for five hours despite a furious anti-aircraft harrage, but a government = communique said damage was not great and "casual- ties are not likely to prove heavy." Pub Hit Squarely Most of the casualties, the gov- ernment said, occurred when a high explosive bomb plunged squarely on a crowded pub on the south bank of the Thames estuary. Pat- rons were trapped by falling glass and brickwork and an undisclosed number. was killed and injured. Rescue workres struggled through- out the nigiit to release victims and doctors crawled around under the wreckage ministering to the injur- ed In addition to the attacks on London, invading fliers struck at towns in various embattled island, including the in- dustrial Midlands, The govern= ment said activity as a whole was "not particularly heavy" but some- what greater than on the previous | emnity of thought, a new grim real- | men or the active forces, the mili- sections 'of the' night." Most night raids stopped soon 'after midnight. "In the capital, four members of a stretcher party were killea when a bomb hit a maternity and child welfare clinic being used as an air raid protection depot. A hospital, a hotel, several houses and places of 'business also were damaged and casualties caused. , One bomb hit a home, killing an entire family of eight, including a thrée-month old baby. Alr activity over England was light during Sunday. About 150 - persons, including many women. and children, escaped from a flooded basement shelter beneath a London orphanage dam- aged when two bombs fell nearby. One of the bombs fell in a roadway and the other burst at the bass o1 the building, smashing a water main which flooded the shelter, After police and rescue workers swam around in the icy water for a considerable time they reported that all had been saved. One of the rescued said: "There were about 150 of us down in the shelter. The first thing we knew was the crashing of masonry and then water rushing in. We immediately made for the back en- trance and within a few seconds were wading through water up to our waists." CHURCHES STOP T0 REMEMBER THROUGHOUT LAND Military . Forces Hold Church Parades Through- out Province (By The Canadian Press) Set against a background of tragic reality, Remembrance Day dawned in Canada today to evoke a new sol- ization of the horrors of war which had been lacking in large measure | from observances during the care- free peacetime years which succeed- ed the 1918 Armistice. Today's grave ceremonies of re- membrance were prefaced Sunday by church services throughout the nation when millions of Canadians gathered to offer prayers for the success of Britain's arms against the forces of atheism and evil, Men and women of every denom- ination thronged their churches and synagogues to pray for the triumph of freedom of worship and thought and action. Church parades brought tia and the ex-service organizations out in full force. Today the ceremonies for the most part will take place out-of-doors at the war memorials in each city, town and village. The focal point will be Ottawa where the service of remembrance | will take place at the National War | Memorial. The Governor-General, the Earl of Athlone, Princess Alice, Prime Minister Mackenzie King and high leaders of political, civil and litary life will take part. The service will start with the usual two minutes of silence in me- mory of the heroes who were slain in Britain's cause and the occasion will be marked by attendance of 2,000 veterans of the First Great War there to honor their fallen comrades. Wreathes will be piled high at each cendtaph and war memorial to honor the glorious dead. Typical of the observances outside the mational capital will be the events in Toronto where so many groups have planned services at the Cenotaph that there will be almost a continuous parade of organiza- tions, civil as well as military. Throughout the week-end, observ. ance there has been a single-minded purpose demonstrated on all sides-- the determination to build for a glorious future on the memories, sacrifices and lessons of the past. | 20 "years, GHAMBER OFFICER STRONGLY FAVORS POULTRY EXHIBIT Fair Seen as Benefit to City's Merchants--Need Prompt Action .Proposed holding of a Lakeshore Poultry Fair in Oshawa to foster retall merchants' Christmas trade was earnestly endorsed today by R. B. Faith, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, who declared that the success of poultry fairs in other communities of both Eastern and Western Ontario should guide all concerned locally in getiing behind the plan with the sort of enthu- siasm which, In this city, is always a guarantee of success. "I believe that we could draw entrants from a district at least 25 miles square, even as far east as Cobourg," Mr. Faith stated "All we need Is prize money and the sup- port of merchants and others cone cerned in getting the Oshawa Poul- try Fair organized and set up in time for the Christmas shopping harvest. "I have visited a number of these poultry fairs and find them one of the things which merchants in the towns where they are held wouldn't think of abandoning. "Some of the important centres staging poultry fairs to stimulate Christmas buying are Napanee, Athens, Brockville, Kemptville, and Ontario Connty. "These fairs attract nuyers from the poultry packing houses and from the larger chain stores. Good prices are obtained for best quality fowl. "I hope that merchants and oth- ers interested -in the matter, here in Oshawa, will call me up and promise support for the initial steps. It can mean a very great deal to our mercliante this yea: and the matter should be carefully consid- ered." Obituaries MRS.

SENATOR PITTMEN, BRITAIN'S FRIEND, DIES IN NEVADA Distinguished for Vigor- ous Stand in International Affairs Reno, Nev, Nov. 11 (AP) -- The name of Senator Key Pittman was added today to the list of distin- guished United States political fi- gures who have sacrificed their lives for office. In failing health, the 68-year-old chairman of the senate foreign re- lations committee and chairman pro tempore of the senate engaged in a strenuous campaign, only to collapse on the eve of re-election and die early yesterday after a heart attack. The veteran Democrat, distin- guished for his ringing denuncia- tion of foreign aggression and for ous American stand in international affairs, was re-elected Tuesday to his fifth consecutive term in the senate, where he had served since 1912.

CONANT SEES WIN OF RODSEVELT AS NEW HOPE SOURCE Inspects 1,500 Civil Memorial Service Oakville, Nov. 11.--The re-elec- tion of President Roosevelt "points | the way to a better future," Attor- ed Sunday at Trafalgar Square Park, where he inspected the Vol- unteer Civil Guard of nearly 1,500 members, Cadets and bands from Oakville High School and Appleby School, as well as Girl Guides of the district and the Oakville Citizens Band and the Lorne Scots Band, joined the Civil Guard in the Remembrance Day service conducted at the park by Right Rev. R. J. Renison of St. Paul's Church, Bloor Street East, Toronto, Honorary Wing Comman- der of the R.C.AF. and Rev, Canon D. Russell Smith of St. yude's An- glican Church, Oakville, Mr. Conant pointed to the exploits cf the British Navy and the Royal Air Force, to the effective resist- ance of the Greek people to Italian aggression, the opposition in the Balkans to Axis demands and the re-election of Mr. Roosevelt as "very clear rays of sunshine (which) have penetrated the clouds which have been overhanging us." Speaking of the re-election of Mr, Roosevelt, Mr." Conant said: "In a world confused by countless, un- known factors, it might have been disastrous to add to them the doubt which the defeat of Mr. Roosevelt would have thrown upon the for- eign policy of the United States. Furthermore, his rejcetion at the polls would have been followed un- der their Constitution by a period in which the President wculd have been virtually veiceless and inactive in world affairs. This period again would have been followed by a fur- ther interval of uncertainty before a new Administration could have established its policy and under- taken effective action." Mr. Roosevelt's re-election and the campaign which preceded it in- dicate even more help will be ac- corded Great Britain by the United States. "There are excedent grounds for hoping and believing the atti- tude and overt actions of the last six months may be continued, and the assistance to the British Em- pire, so badly needed, intensified," Mr. Conant said. "The British Em- pire, with the material assistance of the United. States, can beat the Axis powers to their knees." Mr. Conant referred to Prime Minister Churchill's warning to the British people not to relax and as- sume the danger has passed away. "There is an unconscious and psy- chological trend of events which seems to engender a more optimis- tic outlook," the Attcrney-General said. "But it would be suicidal to permit such an outlook to under- mine the foundation of preparation and more preparation, On the Rev. W. L. Botkin, will officiate at | | ney-General Gordon Ccnant declar- | contrary, there should be a stimu- lus to greater efforts." Mr. Conant praised the Civil Guard, and sald it had helped pre- vent sabotage in Canada. Bishop Renison paid tribute to the spirit and tradition of the Bri- tish people, and added: "It is said it is dangerous to awaken the dead, yet those who bombed London and disturbed the ashes in Westminster Abbey caused them to roam in the blackout throughout England, Nel- gon in all his glory does not stand in his mask, but he, too, is out. They are the spirit of the past and the hepe of the future. After the last war we thought nothing could happen to break the legend of the men in the skies. Today we have the brave knights of the air who ccunt life not dear to themselves. , Dedth looks on these men and says, 'Immortal,' these, and lays down his scythe." SHIPS SKIPPER OUTWITS GERMAN ATLANTIC RAIDER Alters Course During Night After Being Spot- ted by Nazi Planes An Eastern Canadian Pert, Nov. 11 (CP).--Passengers from a trans- Atlantic liner told today of how the skipper of their ship outwitted a German raider, believed to be a pocket battleship. As the liner docked at this port yesterday, passengers told of a nar- row escape from destruction, made possible because their skipper smel- led danger and altered course in the middle of the night after the ship had been spotted by German planes from the United Kingdom when identified as German planes, sent out to spot the course of the ship. Their object was - to report the course to the raider, believed to be The vessel was a few days out | small specks in the sky astern were | either the Luetzow or the Admiral Scheer. The ship's captain continued on his course without pause while the ship was under observation, but at nightfall he swung sharply off in a different direction. The following night, gun flashes and heavy can- nonading at a distance of from 25 to 50 miles told the passengers that the raider had engaged other ships. Their ship put on an extra three knots above her registered full speed, amazing her own shrewd Scottish engineer with her per- formance, The passengers believed that the gun flashes they witnessed were from the attack of the raider on a convoy Wednesday in which the British ships, the Rangitiki and Cornish City reported that they were being shelled. Their own ship had been in another convoy for a few days, but had left it before she was spotted by the German planes.
