Stewart MacDonald , M.D. were so important, be forgotten in the next eighty years? No doubt there were others in Little Sands who joined up. The names are printed behind the choir loft in Little Sands church. I recall seeing several names there, with as many as four with heavy black marks around them (those who died). I never saw the names close up, but it would be interesting to know how many are from Little Sands . I recall most of the ones who joined up during the second World War. I joined up and became a Navigator and Flying Officer in the RCAF. Hector MacDonald enlisted in the Navy and spent many hours at sea. Hector sailed around the world, through the and arrived in Vancouver. He came home the rest of the way by train. He became a fisherman, storekeeper, carpenter, and a foreman for a road construction company. Hector's brother, Murdock, in his very young life joined the Navy. Within a month he was ferrying soldiers across the on D-Day. Quite an experience for a young man just out of school! Murdock later became a captain of a tug in Vancouver. Alvin MacKenzie enlisted in the Army. He was at one time an ambulance attendant. One time the ambulance driver took a wrong turn and landed among the GerĀ¬ mans. The Germans stopped them and allowed them to turn back. Another time he was on guard on a hillock , watching for the enemy, when suddenly a Gurkha (a soldier from Nepal serving in the British Army) sneaked up on him, tapped him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, boy." Alvin said he was mad enough to stick the bayonet into him but he thought better of it. John Blue joined the RCAF. Before the war he used to drive the cream truck from Murray Harbour to Charlot- 116
