Thanks Zelley; I'm suffering from a lousy cold and just could not remember all his details or where I'd filed them. I visited his grave last year; lovely setting.

John Edward Kerfoot was shot the day before is only child was born and died in Ypres 10 days later so he never saw her. & Arthur Leonard must have been my grandads favourite brother as he gave his two names to his two sons

Looking back to 2005, it was a very special as it marked
60 years since the end of WW II.

In 2005, numerous newspapers published special editions.
One excellent publication was a November 8, 2005 special 20
page publication by the Nanaimo News Bulletin.

It focused on local veterans and veterans of local families
with names from ADAMSON to ZELLEY.   The numerous photos and brief narrative covered a wide range of
activity  from Bomber Command to Ack Ack Batteries;
Canadian Field Ambulance to the Regina Rifles;
from engineers to  nurses.





Numerous articles from Veterans visiting Hong Kong to
History of the Poppy.

Another publication from Vancouver Island was
an eight page November 11, 2005 section in the daily paper Times-Colonist with numerous pictures including a
veteran of the Canadian Womens Army Corp and more
from Able Seamen to a Brigadier General. Privates
and Captains - WWI and WW II.
