Lest We Forget / 3 The Royal Canadian Legion Prince Edward Island Command This is a very eventful year for The Royal Canadian Legion. We have marked the End of an Era with the passing of our last known Veteran of World War I. We have also celebrated the 65th Anniversary of VE Day and the 100th Anniversary of our Navy. To the many Canadians who so willingly went to war and sacrificed their lives and the Veterans who were fortunate to return, we can never thank you enough. We also thank our Peacetime service men and women who have served, and are still serving, around the world so we can enjoy the life we enjoy today. I also wish to thank all those who have participated in the making of this booklet to commemorate some of our Veterans who have served us so willingly. On behalf of the Executive Council of Prince Edward Island Command, The Royal Canadian Legion, I wish to express my gratitude to all of those who have made our commemorative booklet a success. Revenues from the production of this booklet will ensure that Prince Edward Island Command can carry on with serving our Veterans, Seniors and Youth programs into the future.

A memorial monument pictured on the front cover was erected in the garden along with an iron gate leading into the garden.

Lest We Forget / 7 The Royal Canadian Legion Prince Edward Island Command Capt. Frederick Thornton Peters Oran, North Africa November 8, 1942 Royal Navy Frederick Thornton Peters was born in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, on the 17th of September 1889, son of the Attorney General and the first Liberal Premier of that province. He was educated at St. Peter’s Private School, later went to school in Victoria, British Columbia, and from there to Naval School in England. He graduated as a midshipman and three years later he received his commission as a sub-lieutenant. During the First World War he was decorated with the Distinguished Service Order, the first ever given to a Canadian, and the Distinguished Service Cross for gallantry in action. Following the action which won him the Victoria Cross, he was proceeding to England when the plane he was in crashed and he was killed. He has no known grave but his name appears on the Naval Memorial at Portsmouth, England. Citation “Captain Peters was in the ‘suicide charge’ by two little cutters at Oran. Walneyand Hartlandwere two ex-American coastguard cutters which were lost in a gallant attempt to force the boom defences in the harbour of Oran during the landings on the North African coast. Captain Peters led his force through the boom in the face of point-blank fire from shore batteries, destroyer and a cruiser - a feat which was described as one of the great episodes of naval history. The Walney reached the jetty disabled and ablaze, and went down with her colours flying. Blinded in one eye, Captain Peters was the only survivor of the seventeen men on the bridge of the Walney. He was taken prisoner but was later released when Oran was captured. On being liberated from the gaol, he was carried through the streets where the citizens hailed him with flowers. He won the D.S.O. and D.S.C. in the last war. He was born in 1889.” The London Gazette, 18th May 1943 Victoria Cross Recipient

Lest We Forget / 9 The Royal Canadian Legion Prince Edward Island Command TRaINOR, Hugh Charles “Charlie” – Distinguised Flying Cross & Bar – Distinguished Service Order Charlie was born in Charlottetown, PEI on July 17, 1916. He enlisted with the Royal Canadian Air Force in Moncton, NB on February 16, 1940. He trained in Canada and Britain as a fighter pilot and later as Commander of a Canadian squadron. He was awarded the DFC in August of 1944, after shooting down five enemy planes in a short period. By October, he had nine planes and won the Bar to the DFC. He evaded capture the first time he was forced to land behind German lines, but was not so lucky the second time. He was reported missing on September 19, 1944. He was freed in April 1945, and was awarded the DSO for his leadership in commanding a Canadian fighter squadron, which destroyed 385 enemy vehicles in three weeks. Charlie passed away on July 4, 2004. MacgIllIVaRY, Charles andrew – United States Medal of Honour – Distinguised Service Cross – Bronze Star – Purple Heart – Croix de guerre – Soldier’s Medal Charles was born in Charlottetown, PEI on January 17, 1917. He joined the Merchant Marines at age 16. Shortly thereafter, he emigrated to the United States to live with his older brother in Boston, Massachusetts. When living with his brother, he joined the U.S. Army in January 1942. While in boot camp, he was asked if he wanted to become a U.S. citizen. He decided that if he was going to fight for the United States that he should be U.S. citizen. MacGillvary’s first wartime action came during the Battle of Normandy, landing on Omaha Beach in 1944. From Omaha Beach, he was involved in numerous liberation conflicts throughout France, before reaching Woelfling during the Battle of the Bulge. On January 1, 1945, during this battle, his unit was surrounded by the 17th German Panzer Grenadier Division, MacGillivary, then 27, picked up a machine gun and knocked out four German machine gun nests, killing 36 German soldiers. During this action, he lost his left arm. It was for this action that he received the United States Medal of Honour “for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty.” Charles passed away on June 24, 2000 in Brockton, Massachusetts.
