SALEM SALEM FRIENDS GREET RYNARD REDCLIFFE On Friday evening, March 23rd, 1945, a number of members of the Salem War Workers and other friends and relatives met at the home of Mr and Mrs. David Vanwicklin, Salem, to welcome home one of our boys, Sgt. Rynard Redcliffe, who lost the sight of both eyes, the result of wounds received a couple of days after landing in Normandy last summer. A short nationalistic program was enjoyed, with Mrs. Albert Irwin acting as chairman. The presentation address was very-ably given by Mr. Robert Blyth, who has three sons and four sons-in-law in the services. He spoke with great feeling of the sacrifice Rynard has made for mankind. A purse of money was presented with the heartfelt appreciation of the community. The address was as follows : Comrade Redcliffe : I have been asked to say a few words of welcome on behalf of your Salem friends. It is not the first occasion this has been done on the return of our gallant lads from overse they have as a rule returned hale and hearty. On this occasion, the man we are honouring to-night has been left with a sad affliction, the loss of his sight, but, like the brave man he is, he is doing his best to overcome this big obstacle and I can assure you, you have the best wishes of us all in your endeavour to do so. It is not possible to give a welcome home to all the returned men, but, in your case, the community couldn't let the opportunity pass of letting you know how we appreciate your sacrifice on our behalf and wish for you in the future a goodly share of the world's good things and all the hap- I now call on Mrs. Irwin to present you with a token of our good-will and respect. Rynard's reply to the presentation was that of a very brave and unselfish man. These were his words regarding his affliction : 'Affliction? Maybe ! Sacrifice No ! I feel that I have been very fortunate in comparison to many of our gallant lads overseas. If I, by my small effort, have helped to rid the world of war so that your children may grow up in peace and security and not have to fight again in twenty years, have had to do, then 1 count my suffering well worth while." He also thanked the War Workers for the numerous boxes, cigarettes and letters which he had received while overseas and assured them that they were contributing a geat deal toward the morale of the boys from Salem. Rynard had been previously quoted as saying that he was determined to be "the best damm blind man to return to Canada." He told this was not idle boasting, but merely the setting up of an objective toward which he was striving. He showed us some of his own handi work--a tooled leather bill-fold which was beautifully made. His keen sense of hearing and a wonderful memory attibute much to his being able to recognize the voices of those whom he had not met for about five years. Rynard goes to Ottawa next week to speak at at Victory Loan Rally. His many friends wish for him every success, and we all take our hats off to one more brave lad returned from the theatre of war.
