How did he join the war? On August 1938, he applied to join the R.C.A.F. in Winnipeg Manitoba. He joined the army when war broke- out. I picked this topic because my great grandfather died with honour by fighting for his country. He believed in himself that he could free his country. I was very proud of him when I first heard that he had served his country. He is buried in Germany.

How did he die? He was killed in World War 2; he fell out of an airplane during air operations in December 2, 1943 over Berlin, Germany. Mary and her daughters were living in Churchill when William went to war. She got bomber mail saying that he would not return and he was killed. They moved back to Eskimo Point to live near family.
