  • May 13, 2013 Veteran Journalist Peter Worthington, Dead at 86
    The Korean War Veteran Internet Journal May 13, 2013 Editor’s Note: This article was published in the Montreal Gazette. The writer of this column served with Peter Worthington as a correspondent in Afghanistan – when Peter was 77! Veteran journalist Peter Worthington, dead at 86 By Matthew Fisher, Postmedia News May 13, 2013 Toronto Sun co-founder, columnist and veteran journalist Peter Worthington has died. He was 86. Photograph by: THE CANADIAN PRESS/The Toronto Sun/Jack Boland , Postmedia News BANGKOK — My friend and colleague, Peter Worthington, died early Monday morning in Toronto. Peter was one of the greats of journalism and the most intrepid and doughty Canadian I ever met. Mostly through my father, who had known Peter forever and had been a Day Oner with him at the Toronto Sun, I was broadly familiar with his war record as a platoon commander with the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry in Korea and how he had joined the Royal Canadian Navy as a 17 year old near the end of the Second World War. From the snippets that I had read I admired his bravery in reporting from Russia during the Cold War and from many other hotspots during his 15 years as a foreign correspondent. But we had really only been nodding acquaintances before we ended up being thrown together in a tent about a decade ago in Afghanistan. The week that we spent roaming around Kabul was one of the most interesting of my life. Peter was 77 years old when he dropped out of the Afghan sky in a C-130 Hercules transport in 2004, becoming by far the oldest Canadian journalist to embed with the troops in South Asia.

  • One Christmas Eve in Korea
    The Korean War Veteran Internet Journal - December 24, 2011 One Christmas Eve in Korea Private Edward James Power, North Sydney, Nova Scotia Whose idea it was we’ll never know, nor would it much matter. It may have been the local commander of the Chinese Peoples Volunteers whose troops were facing and virtually encircling the Hook position. Probably not, because it was not the kind of thing a fighting soldier would squander his men on doing. More likely some propaganda people behind the lines made the plan. Anyhow, the very tired men in Lieutenant Peter Worthington’s platoon in D Company of the 3rd Battalion, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, were aghast just before daybreak to see silhouettes of what they thought were very large enemy soldiers, standing within pistol range of their fighting trench. As eyes quickly adjusted with the gathering light, it was apparent they were gazing at Christmas trees, set there by stealthy soldiers. Good the enemy troops had not been sneaking in to attack, for they had come so close undetected. In the brighter predawn the Patricias began to see leaflets, cards, letters hanging on the trees. With dawn’s first true light they could see sparkles and glints. The enemy had hung little gifts on the trees, so they went over the top, though for certain enemy troops were watching with weapons poised. Worthington’s men grabbed up little glass animal figurines, greeting cards, scurried back to the fighting trench. It was remarkable bonanza and spirits soared. But later, in even better light, they saw a couple of enemy soldiers and opened relentless fire on them, so the gesture had not interrupted their war.
