By Ryan Melanson, Trident Staff

It was a long time coming, but nearly 135 years after his death, a heroic sailor and native of Nova Scotia has finally gotten his due. A public ceremony was held outside St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Washington, D.C. on April 29 to unveil a new Medal of Honour headstone for Joseph B. Noil, Captain of the Hold, who served in the US Navy from 1864 to 1881. Born in Liverpool, Nova Sco- tia, Noil is one of about 800 who have received America’s highest honour for service despite not being born in the country. Yet while he was awarded the Medal of Honor in 1873 for saving the life of a shipmate, his heroic acts were nearly lost from history. For more than a century he lay at his resting place in the St. Eliza- beth’s cemetery under a headstone that made no mention of his award, and even misspelled his name. “With thanks to the work of the Medal of Honor Historical Society of the United States, today we begin a new chapter wherein future generations will Descendants of Joseph Noil attend the unveiling of his new Medal of Honour headstone in Washington, D.C., along with RAdm William be able to bear witness to Noil’s Truelove, Commander CDLS(W) and VAdm Robin Braun, Chief of the US Navy Reserve. US DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS bravery and our common recognition of it,” said RAdm William Truelove, Commander Canadian Defence Liaison Council in Washington, in his remarks during the unveiling. Presented by PSP and Sobeys et la PSP vous offrent RAdm Truelove, also from Liverpool, said the people of the town were proud to know one of their own received the prestigious award, and he described Seaman Noil as both an American sailor and a Canadian hero. Noil’s heroic act took place while he was serving on the USS Powhattan near Norfolk, Virginia on December 26, 1872, when the ship’s bos’n, a sailor by the name of Jack Walton, fell overboard. A letter from Noil’s commander on the Powhattan described his bravery as he grabbed a rope and went overboard in frigid temperatures to help save the frantic man. “The weather was bitter cold, and had been sleeting, and it was blowing a gale from the northw- est at the time. Mr. Walton, when brought on board, was almost insensible, and would have perished but for the noble conduct of Noil, as he was sinking at the time he was rescued,” it reads. Noil died in 1982, less than a year after being admitted to St. Elizabeth’s, then known as the Government Hopital for the In- sane. His story may have ended there if not for the work in recent years by members by members of the Historical Medal of Honor Society, including Canadian member MWO(Ret’d) Bart Arm- strong, a Victoria-based research- er and former reservist. Arm- strong and others worked for years to put together the pieces of Noil’s history, including working closely with St.Elizabeth’s Hos- pital to right the wrong at its cemetery, where many sailors and soldiers from the Civil War years are interred. 17-1817-18 HMCHM Noil’s great-great-great grand- daughter, Bernadette Maybelle DOCKYARD Parks Ricks, expressed her gratit- ude at the ceremony for all those who worked to shed light on her relative’s story, especially those who discovered the familial link ARSENAL only weeks before the stone’s unveiling, allowing family members to be present.

On April 22, HMCS Montréal successfully completed the ship-borne phase of Block 1.0 CH-148 Cyclone Initial Opera- tional Testing and Evaluation (IOT&E). This marks a significant milestone for the RCN and RCAF, as this is the first time a CAF Air Detachment has taken the new CH-148 Cyclone to sea to conduct operational flight trials.

A group of 40 young naval en- gineers from the Royal New Zealand Navy have been on ex- change with the RCN since Janu- ary, gaining valuable experience and time at sea more than 12,000 kilometres from home. They’ve had a lot of adjusting to do during that time, but on April 25, Anzac Day, the tables were turned and their RCN colleagues showed their hospitality while observing an important New Zealand and Australian holiday. Anzac Day marks the day that soldiers from the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, known as the Anzacs, first landed on Gallipoli in 1915 during the First World War. Despite plans for a quick victory, Otto- man defenses were strong, and the battle became an eight-month campaign that saw heavy losses on either side, including nearly 3,000 New Zealanders and 8,000 Australians who never came home.

Certainly no one anticipated a world war on an industrial scale.” Yet when the call came, 14,000 rushed to join up, motivated by duty and adventure, with about 8,500 eventually forming the main expeditionary force. The day still puts a focus on the first Anzac forces at Gal- lipoli, but has expanded to offi- cially honour all those who served and died in war, conflict and peacekeeping operations. It’s become an extremely significant date for New Zealanders and Australians, with ceremonies held on April 25 across the two countries comparable to the ob- servance of Remembrance Day in our country. Ceremonies in Halifax were held aboard Montreal, St. John’s, and Athabaskan, the three HMC ships currently hosting RNZN sailors on the East Coast.

Keeping morale levels high is important for success during long deployments, and any small piece of home that RCN sailors get to take with them at sea can help in that area.
