Williams. Lt. F. R. P. Arsenaiilt. and Lt. F. W. Smith. John Turner was Battery Sergeant Major. All the group were Islanders except 16 who came the first week from Springhlll.

It was in September 1941. after much complaining about ina.-Lion and having acquired the name as Petawawals "Oldest Inliabitants". that the unit shoved off for Eng- land aboard the S. S. Pasteur. An advance party of the Regiment had crossed on the lf.M.l' Northum- berland and spoke freely of the ex- cellcnt mutton and me 'spaciois' quarters.

Arriving in i.he United Kingdom on September 26 the unit encamp- ed at Borden and began a period of training and walL.i.g.eqiia.ied only by Petawawa. They moved on

to Blackdown. surrey. for AA Training which they completed late in the year when they as-

sumed a role in the air defence of Great Britain.

Post War Reunion -In Charlottetown On Sturay

Sgt. Lnppln used 'C'vun Conti-o'- something like peacetime hunter firing at a pheasant on the wing -to bag the plane. It was travell- ing about 300 mph and the sergeant had to direct the lead on the plane .-is well as estimate the distance the shell would travel ae- iore exploding.

The net result was that shall, plane and explosion were all at the same place at the same time and the Luftwaffe was minus it plane and a pilot. -

Boys of the 8th Battery also tonk great pride in their ability to crack down on the Buzz Bombs or V1's between Dover und Fo1lr.e- stone where they had a total of 32 to their credit.

They finally sailed for Ifraiuce August 4, 1944. and landed on the coast of Normandy the following day. While there they changed over from an AA role to a ground role.

During the bitter months which followed their landing in Fortress Europe they took part in many famous actions at places whose names are now part of our histury Among them were Falatse Gap. Boulogne. Calais. Cap Gris Nez Dunkirk. Mans River. Goch. Cleve. the crossing of the Rhine. Kusten Canal and many more.

During the years they saw many replacements come and go and as n result When the reunion is held here Saturday there will be men from all parts of Canada and the United States gathering to greet once. more the fellowta they know through the bitter fighting years

But during the long and often weary years there were many in- cidents to lighten the burden of heavy training. some of them Hap- pened in Canada. some in England and some in Europe. Along with them are loads of names which mean little except to those who were there.

Among the things over which the boys laughed was the Ottawa drive past when the C0. saw one of his 45's being towed by an

ancient Leyland. Bdr. Lebeau was driving and was dressed in a bow- ler hat and black face. As he drove past he yelled at the C.O. "Wanna buy it?" Then there was the m- cldent in England when the Regi- ment 'captured' an officer and 10 men of the Grenadier Blaoltdown. And the shooting down of the "Queen Bee".

Gunners still chortie over the G. P.O. ordering a Q.E. of 81 degrees to the guns. When sadly reminded that such elevation was impomble he replied ”Well stick on all you can and fire twice as many rounds."

They remember too the time the guns of the 8th went, up. by road to Oit-erburn. staging at Lillies- worth and Catterick. in the damp chill of October. And such names as Lancing and Mill Hill. There was the January day at Black Rock. Bri-ghton. where their first experience with a land mine caus- ed the first casualty.

Many will also recall "Operation Stparton" when for some obscure reason the 8th code orders would have landed the Battery in the English Channel. some mlghteven admit playing Robin Bond to get. a supply of fresh venison in Sher- wood Forest. And who could forget Butlln's Luxury Holiday Camp? Or Captain zink's famous battle cry "Pump 'em up boys'.

Remember. too. wher the long. time M.o.. Capt. E. C. Clidden. left. the unit. He was replaced lty Capt. T. A. Laidlaw. who is now practising in Charlottetown '

There is much for the 8th to re- call in Europe and the getting there. Tillbury Docks. the "Cyrus Curtis", Juno Beach. Then there was that August 8th when the first rounds were fired in battle. It lasted 9 hours and the Engi- ment sent 4.605 rounds to pay re- spects to the enemy. Oldtlmers will remember the appearance of the farms and Villages on the road up to Caen? Lisieux also?

There will be many more things for the boys of the sill Battery to remember when they KM-her here from all parts of Canada and the United states this Saturday. Perhaps not the least at them will he the knowledge they have of a good job well done.
