    3. One last entry resulting from my rooting about World War II records relevant to Penetanguishene (and area) and then I'll be quiet! As you know, my focus has been the Penetanguishene references, but on some of the same pages I bumped into some other locals, so thought I'd pass them along to you in case you see anyone of interest. From The Globe and Mail January 9 1945 - killed in action - Pte. Charles Edward WILLIAMS, next of kin Mrs. Rebecca WILLIAMS, Waubaushene. From the Globe and Mail January 22 1945, died of wounds, Royal Canadian Army Service Corps Pte. John Albert BELFRY, next of kin Mrs. Ruth G. BELFRY, wife, Victoria Harbor (by the way - Pte. BELFRY's grand-nephew is my nephew and is currently a member of the Royal Canadian Regiment based in Petawawa Ontario). Globe and Mail November 2 1943 - Tr. Robert Laurie McCONNELL, wounded overseas. Mrs. Laura McCONNELL, mother, Port McNicoll, Ontario. Globe and Mail July 1 1944 E.M. CEASAR of Coldwater was one of the navigators to graduate at Malton RCAF Training Station. From the Hamilton Spectator November 19 1945, Cpl. J.E. CLEARY of Midland, Pte. M. DUBBIN of Port McNicoll and Cpl. G.B. FORTIER of Victoria Harbour were among many RHLI members returning to Canada. Globe and Mail May 15 1945, Rfmn. Stewart Raikes BALD was injured, but is remaining on duty; next of kin John Witherspoon BALD, father of Midland. And lastly - from the Globe and Mail October 18 1943, D.A. DANBY of Coldwater graduated at Brockville Center as an officer cadet. Hope you're all having a wonderful long weekend. Deborah Crawford
