This Remembrance Day, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s remembers Cpl. Stanley Clark Fields, 5^th Field Company - Royal Canadian Engineers veteran of the Second World War and the D-Day landings at Normandy.

The 5^th Field Company was originally formed in April 1910, by the School of Mining Engineering at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s. Initially made up of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s students, professors, and staff, it later welcomed other members and went on to serve with distinction in the First World War. The unit was once again deployed during the Second World War, at which time Cpl. Fields joined.

Together with his comrades, Cpl. Fields landed on Juno Beach early in the morning of June 6, 1944. The soldiers of the 5^th Field Company cleared the assault beach of underwater obstacles and mines at H-Hour. They advanced with the Canadian Corps through France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany.   

Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s was honoured to welcome Cpl. Fields to campus on Remembrance Day 2017, for the unveiling of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Remembers plinth, which commemorates the 5^th Field Company. He also led a wreath laying in the Memorial Room of the John Deutsch 카지노게임사이트 Centre (JDUC), in which the 351 names of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s fallen from both world wars are listed.

Those who were privileged to meet Cpl. Fields on that day were touched by his wit and warmth. He was gracious with those who wished to learn from him, despite the painful memories that might have been evoked.
