This is the story of T.C.S. boys at war, and more particularly
of those who served in the Second World War of 1939-1945.
Trinity College School is of no great age; it marked its
seventy-fifth birthday on May 1st, 1940, when a memorable
celebration was held at Port Hope. Yet three times its boys
have heard the call to war, and three times they have responded
in full measure. A number of those who served in the First
World War or in the Second World War were only fourteen years
of age when war broke out; many of those on active service in
the Second World War had already seen service in the First
World War. Over a third of all the boys who have entered the
School in eighty-three years have enlisted in time of war.
T.C.S. people have often regretted the absence of any com-
plete record of the part played by Old Boys in the South African
War and the First World War. A paper-covered booklet was
issued in 1919 but the information was far from complete. Only
the summaries of such service can now be given, but it will be
noticed how the whole-hearted and full response of 1914-1918
was reflected in 1939-1945. Those killed in action were most
happily much fewer in number in the Second World War, owing,
of course, to the different character of the fighting.
In the brief stories about T.C.S. Old Boys in the Second
World War there are bound to be many omissions. Despite our
every effort to obtain all the important details, it has been found
impossible in many cases to give more than the naked outline of
the service rendered.
The record speaks for itself. No verbal embellishment can
add to this story of simple gallantry and service by a com-
paratively small group of men who had attended the same School.
But we who knew them well can never forget them and their
bravery in defence of the ideals of democracy.

number of boys in the School in any one year was one hundred
and forty.
Those who enlisted 596

The number of Old Boys who enlisted was equal to 90% of all
the boys who left the School during the twenty years before the
war.

The number of T.C.S. boys on active service in the Second
World War was equal to over 98 r/c of all the boys who left the
School during the twenty years before the war.
The number of awards won by T.C.S. boys is quite exceptional.
It is equal to twenty-one per cent of the total enlistment and
probably over thirty per cent of those who took part in the actual
fighting.
Over fourteen hundred T.C.S. boys served in three wars or
41% of all boys who entered the School hi the seventy-four
years before the beginning of the Second World War.

CARTWRIGHT, G. S.
Cartwright, George Stevenson C20-'26), was born June 5, 1908, in

He enlisted in the R.C.A.F. in June 1941 as AC 2, after refusing
a post as a commissioned officer at Headquarters in Ottawa. He won his
wings in February 1942, heading his Observers' Class, and was promoted
to Sergeant Observer. At the end of March, he was commissioned Pilot
Officer. He went overseas in May; in England, he again headed his
class in an advanced navigation course. He was promoted to Flying
Officer in October and was in command of his crew. On November 8,
Page Ten
when his pilot was unable to fly, he volunteered as navigator with
another crew. Over Hamburg, his Wellington ran into very heavy anti-
aircraft fire and the plane was badly hit. The pilot gave orders to bail
out and two of the crew jumped. With the lighter load, the rest of the
crew decided to try to get home. They reached the East Anglian coast
safely and the pilot tried to make an emergency landing. The crash
killed both the pilot and Steven Cartwright; the rear gunner, who lived
a short time, related the details. Cartwright was the first Rhodes Scholar
to be killed in the Second World War and was posthumously awarded
the Operational Wings of the R.C.A.F. in 1946.

Combe, James Owen C26-'32), was born October 24, 1914, at Clin-
ton, Ontario. During his six years at T.C.S. he established an enviable

his record of twenty-two minutes thirty seconds made in 1930 has never
been beaten. He played on the first football team during his last two
years and won second team colours in hockey. He left T.C.S. in his
Fifth Form year to enter business.

crew had been wounded. On February 12, 1942, he was killed in action
while attacking the German warships Scharnhorst and Gneisenau in the
English Channel.
The Air Ministry reported the action as follows: "He was acting

DUNCAN, J. A. C.
Duncan, John Andrew Cardew C40-'42), was born November 30,
1924, at Rawalpindi, India. He came to T.C.S. from England where he
had been at Eton. With his winning personality, he entered into all
phases of school life with enthusiasm and during his final year was in
the Fifth Form, a member of the Choir, a Sacristan, and a brilliant soccer
player. Though only seventeen years of age, he felt he must return to
England at the earliest possible moment. He re-entered Eton in October
1942, after flying to England, and in February 1943 was nominated for
an Officer Cadet Training Unit.
Following his course of training, he received a commission in
the Grenadier Guards early in 1943 and was stationed for a time at
Windsor Barracks, training recruits. He was posted to the King's Com-
pany and early in 1944 was promoted to Lieutenant. In September 1944
he joined his regiment on the Continent and served in action as a platoon
commander.
On Good Friday, March 30, his battalion had crossed the Rhine
at 2 a.m. and by first light had pushed well ahead. At Aalten, in Holland,
they met stiff opposition; his company was sent around the town to
engage the enemy from the flank, and with his platoon leading, began
an attack in strength. In the midst of heavy German shell-fire, he moved
forward to draw back a machine gunner who was in an exposed position.
On his return, he was hit by a mortar shell and badly wounded. He was
rushed to the advanced dressing station but lived only twelve hours.

EDE, H. F. G.
Ede, Herman Francis Grant C30-'34), was born February 17, 1917,
in Bermuda. In his final year at T.C.S. he was a member of the Sixth
Form and a Senior. He played Bigside football and cricket, winning
second team colours in both these sports. He was, in addition, a skilful
swimmer and also obtained his second Gym. eight colours.
He entered McGill University in the autumn of 1934 but left to join
the Royal Air Force. While serving at Narvik as a Flying Officer, in
May 1940, he was awarded the D.F.C. for conspicuous gallantry in action,
being the first T.C.S. Old Boy to be decorated in the Second World War.
His citation states that on May 23, he attacked and shot down a
Heinkel 111. During this action his aircraft was badly damaged but by
skilful handling, he was able to fly it back to base. On May 24, single-
handed, he courageously diverted an attack by four Messerschmitt 110's
causing the enemy to abandon their attack on Bardu Foss aerodrome.
The next day he attacked single-handed two Junkers 90's and after
causing one to retreat and jettison its bombs in the sea, he attacked the
second aircraft and shot it down in flames. On June 9, 1940, while he
and his companions were being evacuated aboard the aircraft carrier

PEACOCK, J. W. F.
Peacock, John William Frederick C35-'38), was born March 9, 1920,
at Montreal, Quebec. At T.C.S. he was a good student and showed much
skill at games, in his final year winning first team colours in football,
hockey and cricket. He was also a member of the first squash team.
Because of his sound character and leadership ability he was made a
Senior in 1937 and soon afterwards was appointed a Prefect. From T.C.S.
he entered McGill University and was a member of the C.O.T.C., and a
reserve officer in the Black Watch (R.H.R.) of Canada.
He was commissioned Pilot Officer in the radio branch of the
R.C.A.F. in September 1941 and went overseas in October of the same
year. He qualified for his Navigator wing while attached to the R.C.A.F.,
and late in 1942 began flying operationally with 409 (R.C.A.F.) Squadron,
making sorties over the Continent in Boulton-Paul Defiants, Beaufighters
and later Mosquitoes. He was promoted Flight Lieutenant early the
following summer and began a navigation leaders course, at the con-
clusion of which he returned to his squadron. He was Mentioned in
Despatches in the 1944 New Year's Honours List and continued on
operations until his aircraft was shot down on August 7, 1944. While
patrolling over the Normandy beachhead about ten miles southeast of
Bayeux, his aircraft was attacked by German fighters and he could not
get clear before he crashed. At the time of his death, he was officially
credited with destroying five enemy planes and with damaging a sixth.
Wing Commander Beveridge, his Commanding Officer, wrote of
his death as follows: "I cannot express in full the deep regret that my
entire Squadron feel at this moment. I speak with particular feeling
since I was with John until the last moment and it was he who saved
my life by pushing me free from the aircraft, as we came down out of
control. We were on patrol over the Beach Head during the early hours
of August 7 when we were suddenly attacked by fighters. John gave
me the warning as they attacked; but before I could take avoiding action,
we had been hit and were out of control — our tail had been cut off. We
immediately set about getting clear of the aircraft in the conventional
Page Forty-five
manner which is out of the side. Apparently John was having difficulty,
for when I asked him what was wrong, he only replied that he couldn't
jettison the door. Accordingly I immediately jettisoned the hatch in the
roof directly over my head and tried to get clear; however, I found my-
self stuck half-in, half-out at the last minute, not being able to clear
myself through my own efforts. I suddenly came clear. The only ex-
planation I can give is that John, unable to get his hatch open, decided
that one of us at least should get out and came to my rescue, unselfishly
abandoning hope for himself, and pushed me from behind. My parachute
opened just in time, as I hit the ground a minute later. Thus John had
no time to follow me, and was killed instantly when the aircraft crashed
about fifteen yards from me."

REDPATH, J. G.
Redpath, John George C37-'39), was born February 28, 1923, in
Montreal, Quebec. He attended T.C.S. for two years and during that
period took an active part in the life of the School. In his last year he
was a member of the Fourth Form and played on the Littleside football
and cricket teams, and the Middleside hockey team. After he left T.C.S.,
he attended Westmount High School and then entered McGill University
where he did well.
In 1942, during his second year, he enlisted in the R.C.A.F. and
was commissioned Pilot Officer in the autumn of 1943. He was selected
as an instructor and posted to Uplands. He remained there on attach-
ment for six months and had logged 700 flying hours instructing pupils,
when on August 5, 1944, his plane collided with another one and crashed,
killing him instantly.

colours in both sports. He also played on the basketball team of 1937.
After he left School, he took a course in aeronautics at the Boeing
Aircraft Plant in California.
He enlisted in the R.C.A.F. in 1940 and went overseas in October
1941 as a Sergeant Pilot. Winning promotion to Pilot Officer, he took
part in many bomber operations, and on February 25, 1943, was reported
missing. He was flying a Wellington to India and presumably crashed
over occupied France or in the Bay of Biscay. He was later officially
presumed killed.

RUSSEL. H.
Russel, Hugh C33-;39), was born October 13, 1921, at Montreal,
Quebec. He came to the Junior School in September 1933 and remained
at T.C.S. for six years. In his final year he was a member of the Fifth
McGill Form, played on the first football team obtaining second team
colours, and was Captain of the hockey team. Because of his leadership
ability and influence in the School, he was made a School Prefect.
Shortly after leaving T.C.S., he enlisted in the R.C.A.F. and was
commissioned Pilot Officer in 1941, being posted overseas the same year.
He took part in the Dover Straits battle against the German battleships
Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, and later engaged in many sweeps over the
Continent with a Canadian fighter squadron. Promoted to Flight
Lieutenant, he returned to Canada for leave in 1943, during which he
visited the School and spoke to the boys in an unforgettable way about
his first experiences as a fighter pilot. After a period of duty in Quebec
he was posted overseas for a second tour of operations. He was serving
in a fighter squadron providing protection for the invasion of the Con-
tinent when he was reported missing over the Caen-Falaise-Argentan
area of Normandy. He was later officially presumed killed in action on
June 16, 1944.

1931 and became a member of the Fifth McGill Form in his final year.
He played on Bigside football and hockey, winning second team colours
in both sports, and also played on the third cricket team. He distinguished
himself particularly, however, as a boxer and won the Bradburn Cup
for being judged the best boxer in the School. He entered the faculty
of Engineering at McGill University in 1935 and in 1938 left to obtain a
year's practical experience in the Sullivan Mines at Kimberley, B.C.
Returning to McGill for a year in 1940, he joined the R.C.N.V.R.
in September of that year and was called out on active service in
January 1941. He received his commission as Sub-Lieutenant the same
year and was promoted Lieutenant in 1942 on graduating from H.M.C.S.
Royal Roads. After se-rving for six months in a corvette on the Atlantic,
in May 1942 he volunteered for submarine duty and after a course in
England was attached to the Royal Navy in the Middle East serving in
H.M. Submarine Traveller. On December 12, his ship was reported
missing after operations in the Mediterranean, and nothing further was
heard of either the ship or her crew.

SMITH, A. L.
Smith, Anthony Larratt C17-'25), was born February 22, 1908, at
Toronto, Ontario. He came to T.C.S. in September 1917, remaining for
eight years. In his final year he was a member of the Fifth Form and
a House Captain. An enthusiastic athlete, he won his first team colours
in both football and hockey. After leaving the School, he went into
business, becoming a partner in the insurance firm of Tomenson,
Saunders, Smith and Garfat. A skilful horseman, he was one of the
best polo players in Canada and often rode as a jockey in races.
He enlisted in the R.C.A. as a gunner at the outbreak of war and
went overseas in 1941 after winning his commission. He was promoted
to Captain and later took part in the invasion of the Continent. On his
way to Normandy with the invasion forces, his ship was torpedoed and
he swam in full equipment over a mile to shore. While serving as a
Forward Observation Officer directing the fire of his guns, he was killed
by German mortar fire on July 27, 1944.
Page Fifty-two
SCHOLFIELD, G. P.
Scholfield, George Percival C17-'24), was born October 9, 1906, at
Toronto, Ontario. Entering T.C.S. in 1917, he was one of the first members
of the Junior School. Throughout his seven years at the School, he showed
himself to be a keen student and a good athlete. His chief sports interest
was football and for two years he was a member of the first team, being
awarded a Distinction Cap in his final year. He was also a Gymnast,
winning his colours on the first Gym. eight. For several years he was
a dependable member of the Choir. In his final year he was a most
capable Head Prefect and he won the coveted Bronze Medal for showing
"steady perseverance in courtesy, industry and integrity". He entered
University College, Toronto, where he graduated four years later. Going
into business he became a partner in the firm of Traviss, Scholfield and
Company.
He was called out on active service at the beginning of the war
with the Royal Regiment of Canada and went overseas shortly after-
wards. He became second-in-command of his regiment and conducted
himself most courageously in the attack on Dieppe. He was in command
of the first wave of the battalion when it attacked at Puits at dawn on
the 19th of August, 1942. Casualties in the infantry were very heavy
as a result of the withering fire at close range from well prepared
positions behind fixed barbed wire defences. From the initial landing
until toward the close of the action, the German defences kept up a
heavy concentrated fire on all beaches, consisting of artillery, mortars,
light and heavy machine guns down to snipers, all of which was made
far more effective by the shingle beach acting as shrapnel when hit.
Major Scholfield led his troops gallantly from the landing crafts across
the bullet-riddled beach to the enemy's first line of defence. In the
initial stages of the battle he was mortally wounded, but still continued
to encourage and direct his men until he lost consciousness.
He was reported missing and on October 22, a letter from a brother
officer, held prisoner-of-war, stated that he had died of wounds in a
German hospital at Morancez, France, early in September of that year.
Page Fifty-three
His Colonel wrote of him as follows: "I think you know what wr
thought of George as a soldier and as a man. He was a fine example
at all times. He was conscientious to the last degree and never was
there a more loyal officer. He was adored by his men and quite rightly
so as there was nothing he would not do for them if it was within his
power. He did a magnificent job at all times ?nd went about his work
with determination and a keen sense of duty. The more difficult the
task, the more determined he was to win through — he never quit. I am
proud indeed that I hao. the privilege of being associated with such a
perfect gentleman and good soldier".

STRATHY, G. H. K.
Strathy, George Henry Kirkpatrick C29-'34), was born February 13,
1918, at Sopington, England. He came to the Junior School from Toronto
in September 1929 and immediately began to distinguish himself in his
studies, passing six papers of his Junior Matriculation with high honours
even before entering the Senior School. His brilliant academic record,
however, did not prevent him from taking an active part in games and
he obtained his colours for Middleside cricket where he excelled as a
bowler. In his leisure moments, he conceived, edited and printed a
School Sheet, the Trinity Tatler, which evoked widespread interest. In
1934, he obtained his Honour Matriculation with first class honours in
four mathematics and two science papers. He was Head Boy and Chan-
cellor's Prize Man, won the Jubilee Exhibition and the Governor General's
Medal for Mathematics, and was also awarded the Professor William
Jones Scholarship in Mathematics at Trinity College.
As he had barely reached his sixteenth year, and was considered
too young for university, he was sent to an English Public School and
at Charterhouse he continued to show brilliant promise of scholarship.
In 1933, in the Ontario Upper School examinations, he won the First
Edward Blake Scholarship and the Second Edward Blake Scholarship
at the University of Toronto, as well as the Wellington Scholarship in
Mathematics at Trinity College, three of the most coveted Scholarships
at the University. He entered Trinity College in September 1936 and
throughout his University career he won distinction after distinction; he
regularly headed his first class honour group in the Mathematics and
Physics course winning some five scholarships; he was honoured in his
final year for distinguished service to the University; and he was a
member of the University of Toronto mathematics team of three which
won the Putnam award in competition with some sixty other universities
on the North American continent.
When the British Admiralty called for volunteers of exceptional
capacity in mathematics and physics, he was one of the first to offer his
services. He received his commission as a Sub-Lieutenant in the R.C.N.V.R.
in May 1940 and after special and secret training was posted to H.M.S.
Ajax, then in the Mediterranean. On the morning of October 12, 1940,
his ship encountered two squadrons of enemy warships and immediately
attacked, sinking three of them. Pat Strathy was killed instantly by the
only shell which hit the Ajax during the engagement.

completed both his Junior and Honour Matriculation, being a member
of the Sixth Form in his last year at school. He played on the first
football team and was considered the best skier in the School. Because
of his general leadership ability as well as his steady dependability ho
was made a Senior, performing his duties capably. On entering McGill,
he elected to specialize in engineering; he became a member of the
Kappa Alpha fraternity.
In February 1943 he enlisted in the R.C.A.F. and received his
elementary training in Ontario and the west. He was selected for train-
ing as pilot and was completing his course at Uplands when his plane
crashed on September 6, 1944, near Montebello, killing him instantly.

our community. In 1938 he left to enter his father's business in Edmonton.
In the summer of 1940 he volunteered for service in the Navy and
although he won his commission, he decided he would prefer to fly and
resigned from the navy to join the Air Force.
He enlisted in the R.C.A.F. in the summer of 1941 and early in
1942 graduated as an Air Gunner. He went overseas in August 1942 as
a Sergeant Air Gunner and made many operational flights over enemy
territory. On April 11, 1943, his aircraft failed to return from a raid

Saskatchewan, and left from the Fourth Form two years later. He
attended Campion College, Regina, and later entered the Civil Service
where he was employed with the T.C.A. in Regina.

WIGLE, F. E.
Wigle, Frederick Ernest C29-'32), was born July 11, 1913, at
Hamilton, Ontario. He came to T.C.S. in September 1929 when the Senior
School was at Woodstock and left from t'lc Sixth Form in June 1932.
Throughout his career at T.C.S. he revealed exceptional qualities of mind
and heart which led to his being awarded the Bronze Medal for "steady
perseverance in courtesy, industry and integrity" — an honour he shared
with the Head Prefect of his year. Because of his general standing in
the School and unusual leadership ability, he was appointed a Prefect.
He took an active part in sports, being one of the strongest football and
hockey players ever to play on T.C.S. teams; he was also a member of
the second eleven in cricket. Entering McGill, he did well in his course
and starred on the University football and hockey teams. He was picked
for the Eastern Canada all star football team. After graduation, he
entered business in Montreal and in 1937 married Miss Margaret Willmot
Holton of Hamilton.
He received his commission in the Armoured Corps in May 1941
and was promoted to Captain on proceeding overseas in November of
the same year. In England he was selected for a staff course, and in
September 1943 was promoted to Major, later being appointed GSO 1,
4 Armoured Division. In February 1945, he was appointed to the com-
mand of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada with the
rank of Lieutenant-Colonel and in March he was awarded the O.B.E. "for
gallantry, efficiency and devotion to duty". He fought his battalion all
through the Hochwald battle and then led his men across the Rhine. It
was during this period that he was awarded the D.S.O. for complete
disregard for personal safety in going forward to rally and inspire his
men under heavy German counter attacks.
The official citation reads in part as follows: "By 4 a.m. all objec-
tives had been taken. From 6 a.m. on, the enemy shelled and mortared
the area incessantly and during the ensuing twenty-four hours counter-
attacked eight times with infantry and Tiger tanks. During this time.
Lt.-Col. Wigle was constantly forward with his leading companies, en-
Page Sixty
couraging his men and co-ordinating their defences. Despite heavy
casualties, he directed the fire so effectively that the final attack was
driven off with great loss to the enemy. There can be no doubt that the
skill, initiative and daring displayed by this officer was directly respon-
sible for the success of this difficult operation. His courage was an
inspiration to all ranks under his command".
On April 12, he had moved his tactical headquarters into a building
in a little town which he had captured west of Bremen and had one
officer and ten other ranks with him. At four in the morning, another
battalion drove eighty Germans from a strong point a mile and a half
south of the town. They retreated to this town arriving about seven
a.m. Half of the men in the building were on the ground floor and half
on the second floor. The Germans closed in, surrounding the house, and
fired at point blank range. Colonel Wigle was killed instantly while
attempting to reach his men on the second floor.
After his death, he was Mentioned in Despatches for gallant and
distinguished service on staff before his appointment to the command
of the Argylls.

an attack on a strong enemy posi-

off from the battalion he kept ad
vancing towards the battalion ob-
jective, which he hoped to reach
independently. At one point the
platoon was fired on by a machine
gun post on the high ground south-

fantry he supported to reach their
objectives. In frequent locations
where observation was very diffi-
cult, with gallant disregard for his
own life, he repeatedly exposed
himself to enemy machine gun and
mortar fire in order to ascertain
the enemy's positions and to neu-
tralize or destroy them. His excel-
lent example throughout has been
an inspiration to the men and con-
tributed greatly to the taking of

to the infantry he supported."

ary 1946 with the following cita-
tion: "Lieutenant LeMesurier, on
loan to the British Army since
October 1944, has given exemplary
service to the 5th Queen's Own
Cameron Highlanders. His devotion
to duty, great courage, initiative
and leadership have been an in-
spiration to all who knew him.
Whenever there has been a dan-
gerous and unpleasant task, he has
volunteered for it and carried it
through with skill and daring. As
commander of the Battalion Scout
Platoon, until he was seriously
wounded after crossing the Rhine,
he has always led his men with
great enthusiasm and given them
his greatest confidence in all their
difficult operations. South of the
Maas, in October, Lieutenant Le-
Mesurier led ten patrols and raids
against the enemy positions in the
woods near Best. On one of the
fighting patrols, Lieutenant Le
Mesurier met strong machine gun
and grenade opposition from an
enemy strongpoint at thirty yards
range. Under withering fire and
with grenades being thrown at him
from three sides, he charged the
nearest post and personally killed
the two machine gunners in it. The
remaining enemy in the vicinity
scattered and fled. Again crossing
the Zig Canal bridgehead, he show-
ed tho same bravery and his patrol
accounted for twenty enemy snipers
and machine gunners. In the
Reichswald in February, whilst
commanding a platoon, he, owing
to his sten gun jamming, killed two
of the enemy with his only remain-
ing weapon, a shovel. His leader-
ship, personal bravery and skill
have saved many casualties and
have been a great contribution to
the many successes the battalion
has had. His example throughout
the campaign has been superb."

in France, Belgium, Holland and

He was awarded the M.C. in March
1945 for distinguished service in
the Battle for the Hochwald in Ger
many. His citation reads as follows:
"During the advance of First Cana-
dian Army to the Rhine, 4 Canadian
Infantry Brigade, on 2 March, 1945,
was ordered to seize the northern
part of the Hochwald Forest and
thus control the vital east-west road
through the woods. The enemy,
appreciating the strategical value
of this route, attempted to deny us
access to it by blowing three large
craters in the road at the western
edge of the forest. Each crater was
blown by burying and detonating
pairs of 500 pound bombs. Lieu-
tenant McCloskey, 2 Canadian Field
Company, Royal Canadian En-
gineers, with a sapper platoon and
one bulldozer under command was
detailed to open this route for
vehicles of the assault battalion and
subsequent divisional traffic. Hav-
ing personally recced the position,
this officer led his men forward
close upon the heels of the attack-
ing infantry men and commenced
work. Completely contemptuous of
a bitter battle being waged two to
five hundred yards from his posi-
tion he quickly devised a temporary
route which permitted the forward
flow of urgently required battle
supplies and the evacuation of
many wounded men. The enemy,
becoming aware of what was
transpiring laid in a mortar con-
centration on these craters, the
equal ol which is rarely experienced
in operations. Through hours of
the most intense fire Lieutenant
McCloskey refused to waver from
his task and kept his men available
to utilize every lull in the mortar-
ing. Always the first to emerge
from cover and the last to take
shelter in the bitterest periods he
set an example of heroism and per-
severance which completely infect-
ed all who worked with him. On
one occasion when it became im
possible to remain above ground, he
noticed six men taking inadequate
cover by the roadside. Completely
disregarding his personal welfare
he emerged from cover, worked his
way out to these men and led them
back to a more substantial trench.
Even when a fresh sapper party
was brought in to relieve his
original crew, this officer deliberate-
ly chose to remain at his post. For
fifteen hours he stayed at the site,

graph on December 18, 1940: "He
was engaged in clearing debris
when a member of the Home Guard
told him that a big bomb which had
fallen in the vicinity had failed to
explode. He inspected the bomb,
decided it was in much too dan-
gerous a position to be left there,
and obtained an army lorry and a
length of cable. After fastening
the cable round the missile, 2nd
Lieut. Patton sat on the running-
board of the lorry to watch what
happened while the bomb was
dragged behind the vehicle to a
field. It was decided that it would
be best to dump the bomb in an old
crater. After careful manoeuvring
it was deposited gently in the hole.
2nd Lieut. Patton, an expert in
chemical engineering, at that time
knew nothing of the technique of
tackling unexploded bombs. He be-
came so interested that he is now
attached to a bomb disposal unit ol
the R.E. He is 25 and married".

Canadian Armoured Car Regiment
(Royal Canadian Dragoons), on 30
August, 1944, was given the task of
finding a crossing over the river
Foglia in an area near Borgo San
Maria. This officar was first across
the river in the face of heavy mor-
tar and machine gun fire and per-
sonally organized a defensive
bridgehead which was immediately
strongly counter-attacked by the
enemy. This attack was repulsed
after very hard fighting during
which Lieutenant Rawiinson dis-
played courage and leadership of
the highest order and without which
a difficult situation might have be-
come critical. The advance was
resumed. On 17 September, 1944, his
troop was given the task of clearing
the enemy in the area of the rail-
road track from the River Melo to
the River Marano, in Riccione. Up-
on reaching the Marano, Lieutenant
Rawlinson saw that the enemy was
not yet consolidated on the opposite
bank of the river. He led his troop
across this dangerous obstacle in
the face of very heavy mortar and
machine gun fire. The enemy im-
mediately counter-attacked after a
heavy concentration of mortar fire
and inflicted seven casualties on
Lieutenant Rawlinson's troop after
fierce hand to hand fighting. Al-
though twice wounded and weak
from loss of blood, Lieutenant
Rawlinson remained in the fore-
front of the battle for half an hour.
By his great courage and skill, he
rallied his troop and under cover
of smoke, he evacuated all casual-
ties. By this time, he was on the
verge of collapse from exhaustion
and wounds but he extricated the
remainder of the troop, and remain-
ed until all his men had been with-
drawn to cover on the south side of
the river before permitting a medi-
cal orderly to evacuate him. By his
courageous leadership, drive and
initiative, this officer was largely
instrumental in forcing the enemy
to withdraw later in the day, thus
securing the right flank of three

Assault Battalions, Lieut.-Colonel
Spragge landed immediately behind
his leading Companies at Bernieres-
Sur-Mer and continued to direct his
Battalion from among the forward
troops during the advance inland
until the capture of the Brigade's
final objective in the evening of
D-Day. He then re-organized his
Battalion on his right. After the
initial assault, progress was slow
and his Battalion was ordered to
push on with all haste in order to
ensure that the high ground which
was the final objective was secured
before dark. That this operation
was carried out was largely due to
the personal drive of this Officer.
On June 11, 1944, when his Bat-
talion was supporting an Armoured
Attack, this Officer personally
accompanied his two leading Com-
panies. Strong enemy resistance
broke up this attack, during which
one of the Companies suffered very
heavily. By a quick decision made
under heavy fire, Lieut.-Colonel
Spragge was able to manoeuvre the
remainder of his force and success-
fully carry out his new plan.
Throughout the first day's fighting
and in this subsequent action Lieut.-
Colonel Spragge displayed marked
courage, coolness and determina
tion, and by his leadership ensured
the successful carrying out of the
tasks given to his Battalion. His
actions throughout were an ex-
ample to all."

the air attack on Morotai, as Yank
landing barges scraped ashore on
the Jap-held island, Lieut. Taylor
and his crew members of a Catalina
Flying boat, observed two fighter
pilots floating in the water between
Morotai and nearby Halmahera
Island, where they had been shot
down. Enemy gun positions were on
one side of the fliers, while barge-
mounted machine guns kept up an
incessant cross fire on the other
side. In spite of no fighter protec-
tion, a choppy sea making the land-
ing dangerous, and Jap batteries
opening up as the plane approached,
the crew set the ship down within
100 feet of one pilot. The rescue
was made in a few minutes but the
second pilot was killed by machine
gun fire before the plane got to
him."
The citation reads as follows:
"During the entire operation the
rescue aircraft was subjected to in-
cessant enemy barrage which dam-
aged it severely. The outstanding
courage and devotion to duty dis-
played by these crew members
under hazardous conditions are
worthy of the highest commenda-
tion. Lieut. Taylor, who escaped
uninjured from the daring rescue,
has flown more than 75 rescue mis-
sions with the 'Snafu Snatchers',
13th A.A.F. Rescue unit."

OLD BOYS WHO ENLISTED IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR
AND IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR
In the following pages we are giving the names of Old Boys
who served in the South African War and the First World War,
together with some relevant details. The information had to be
extracted from notes and records printed many years ago and
we apologize in advance for the errors which are bound to be
discovered. We feel that it will be invaluable to have in one
volume as complete a list as possible of all Old Boys who enlisted
in time of war.
It is important to remember that all T.C.S. Boys who en-
listed in the South African War, the First World War, and the
Second World War were volunteers.

All the Old Boys who enlisted in three wars were members
of the Cadet Corps when they were at the School. In 1936 the
Corps, under Army supervision, became affiliated with a squa-
dron of the Royal Canadian Air Force; the T.C.S. Cadet Corps
was the first Cadet Corps in the English speaking world to be
attached to an Air Force unit. In 1948 the Corps became an Air
Cadet Corps.

THE SCHOOL AT PORT HOPE AND THE
SECOND WORLD WAR
T.C.S. was the first School to institute a course of military
studies for all Senior School boys. Beginning in October 194i.
it has been continued ever since and has proved of much value.
The following subjects have been studied: Signalling (Buzzers,
Lamps, Flags), Map Reading, First Aid, Air Navigation, Sea
Navigation, Theory of Flight, Internal Combustion Engines,
Meteorology, Knots and Lashings, Aircraft Recognition, Ski
Patrol Tactics, Air Raid Precautions, Bren Gun, Musketry, HE36
Hand Grenade, 2 inch Mortar, Small Arms training (Rifle),
Small Arms training (Pistol), Fieldcraft, Camouflage, Life-
saving, Organization of Army, War gases, Airmanship, Browning
Gun.
The Cadet Corps, first organized in 1865 by a Waterloo vet-
eran and carried on since then, won the Imperial Challenge Shield
for shooting in 1944 in competition with some eight hundred
other Schools in the Empire.
For five successive years the Corps has come first in Canada
in the same competition.
During the war, special bursaries were given to the sons of
men on active service when such assistance was requested.
One hundred and five boys from English Schools were
educated at T.C.S. after war was declared. Where necessary, the
Governing Body postponed the payment of fees for such boys.
The School sent "The Record" to all Old Boys on Active
Service six times a year during the war, free of charge. Over-
seven hundred pages of Old Boys' News were printed during
these years.
Parcels of food and packages of cigarettes were sent regu-
larly to Old Boys overseas and in prison camps, either directly
or through the Red Cross.
Masters and boys contributed some eleven thousand dollars
to War Funds.
In school work, the Sixth Forms of 1942-43, and 1943-44
obtained the best records in our history in the Upper School or
Senior Matriculation examinations, and a record not equalled by
any other School in the Province.

AVE ATQUE VALE
To our Founder and all those closely associated
with our beginning; to our Headmasters and Masters
who have cherished the School and have given so
much of their lives in its service; to our Governors
who have lent themselves selflessly in the promotion
of our welfare; to all the boys who through their
happy and brave natures, their diligence and affec-
tionate loyalty, their gallantry and sacrifice in time
of war, have shaped for us fine traditions and strong
character; to all those our kind friends who valued
highly our work and sought in every way to assist
us; to all these we give our deep and humble thanks,
pledging ourselves to be faithful to the noble heritage
which they, in their strength and goodness, have
nourished and protected for us.
