Joseph was in Germany when the war ended, so the mood he faced was somewhat subdued. However, that was not the case back in his native province when V-E Day was declared on May 8, 1945. After the war, Joseph decided against a return to farm, deciding instead to pursue a career in the business world. He has been a resident at Whisperwood Villa for over eleven years.

Lest We Forget / 73 Just A Common Soldier (A Soldier Died Today) by A. Lawrence Vaincourt
He was getting old and paunchy and his hair was falling fast, And he sat around the Legion, telling stories of the past. Of a war that he had fought in and the deeds that he had done, In his exploits with his buddies; they were heroes, every one.
And tho' sometimes, to his neighbors, his tales became a joke, All his Legion buddies listened, for they knew whereof he spoke. But we'll hear his tales no longer for old Bill has passed away, And the world's a little poorer, for a soldier died today.
He will not be mourned by many, just his children and his wife, For he lived an ordinary and quite uneventful life. Held a job and raised a family, quietly going his own way, And the world won't note his passing, though a soldier died today.
When politicians leave this earth, their bodies lie in state, While thousands note their passing and proclaim that they were great. Papers tell their whole life stories, from the time that they were young, But the passing of a soldier goes unnoticed and unsung.
Is the greatest contribution to the welfare of our land A guy who breaks his promises and cons his fellow man? Or the ordinary fellow who, in times of war and strife, Goes off to serve his Country and offers up his life?
A politician's stipend and the style in which he lives Are sometimes disproportionate to the service that he gives. While the ordinary soldier, who offered up his all, Is paid off with a medal and perhaps, a pension small.
It's so easy to forget them for it was so long ago, That the old Bills of our Country went to battle, but we know It was not the politicians, with their compromise and ploys, Who won for us the freedom that our Country now enjoys.
Should you find yourself in danger, with your enemies at hand, Would you want a politician with his ever-shifting stand? Or would you prefer a soldier, who has sworn to defend His home, his kin and Country and would fight until the end?
He was just a common soldier and his ranks are growing thin, But his presence should remind us we may need his like again. For when countries are in conflict, then we find the soldier's part Is to clean up all the troubles that the politicians start.
If we cannot do him honor while he's here to hear the praise, Then at least let's give him homage at the ending of his days. Perhaps just a simple headline in a paper that would say, Our Country is in mourning, for a soldier died today. © 1987 A. Lawrence Vaincourt

He was awarded the Military Cross on November 25, 1916 for bringing his aircraft down to just five hundred feet to bomb the Gouzeaucourt Railway Station, claiming destruction of an engine and an enemy ammunition train. Less than nine months later, he was awarded the bar to that decoration.

STEVENSON, Steve PEACETIME Steve was born in Mount Denis, Ontario in 1928. He joined the Air Force and worked as an Air Photographer in Ottawa, Europe and Manitoba. He was a member of The Royal Canadian Legion.
STEWART, Clifton Elmer WWII Clifton spent his service during World War II as a spy. At age 21, he trained in Oshawa, Ontario at what was known as Camp X. Code names and secrets are all part of security coordination service; as he recalls Camp X “did not exist”. He was an agent for the British Security Coordination under the direction of Sir William Stephenson. He worked across Europe and the United States, attended world conferences in Tehran, San Francisco and Quebec. Clifton modestly agreed that “Everyone has their claim to fame, but everyone did what they had to do.” Clifton makes his spy career sound like mundane, everyday kind of work. Now, at age 87, Clifton remains alert and involved. Clifton still works occasionally exercising his considerable skill as an electrician, a career including designing emergency power systems to which he returned after his war service.
STEWART, Raymond Leo WWII Raymond was born in West Point, PEI on September 29, 1918 to the late Stephen and Lucy (LeClair) Stewart. Raymond proudly served his country during World War II.
