The North Norfolk salvage campaign began last week with a strong first day at the Massey Harris warehouse. Residents are asked to bring in paper, rags, old car batteries, and gramophone records, and to leave bones and other salvage items in the open air for about six weeks. Salvage will continue as long as the war lasts to aid the Empire’s war effort.
London dispatch dated January 15 reports Canada’s Wing Commander Mark Henry Brown of Glenboro Manitoba killed in an air battle over the Mediterranean. The 30 year old ace, holder of the DSO, credited with destroying more than twenty Axis planes, died in a crash while fighting and was buried with full military honors. Brown was famed as a versatile pilot who once brought a German Messerschmitt 109 to England for research. He was beloved in his Manitoba community and remembered as a Canadian hero who gave all for freedom.
