“May we never forget those who have given so much for our freedom.”
Sunday, November 10, 2013 - The Morning Star U5www.vernonmorningstar.com
Peter Lawton was born in 1918, the last year of the “War to End All Wars” and grew up in Lancashire, never thinking that he would see military service.
When he was 15, his father indentured him to the British Merchant Navy with the goal that he would become an of� cer.
“As apprentices, we spent what seemed like a lot of time scrubbing the decks but we ate with the of� cers because we were going to be of� cers,” he recalled. “On the � rst runs we were picking up bananas from West Africa and South America. It was an adventure.
“There was no reason to think there would be a war. It seemed to happen very
quickly. Corrugated iron air raid shelters were shipped to people and they had to put them up themselves.”
When the war started in 1939 the Merchant Navy was used by the Royal Navy to ship supplies. Lawton, now an of� cer, found himself in convoys of as many as 60 ships carrying oil, vehicles, troops, and torpedoes from the Middle East to Africa to New York.
“The ships were like bombs if one was hit. We were guarded by the Royal Navy and under attack by German planes and submarines. There were moments of humanity. When a ship was taken by a German submarine, we couldn’t stop, but we saw the Germans rescue the English sailors,” he said.
“We didn’t get any information and we didn’t know how long the war was going to last but we were under orders and you did what you had to do.”
Part of his duties was to change the bearings of the ship as necessary. One night, in heavy seas, he fell over a railing onto a lower railing severely injuring his back, resulting in life-long back problems.
“It was my duty, stiff upper lip and all that, as an of� cer and English gentleman to carry on, so I did.”
The crew got to spend 10 days in New York whenever the ships took on supplies there. Early in the war, the United States was not at war with Germany.
“We went from the blackouts of Britain to the bright lights of Broadway. We could go to a restaurant and order a steak, go to musicals, galleries, entertainment. Then it was back on ship, not knowing if we would make it across the Atlantic again.”
The ship Lawton was on reached Naples the day after the German
forces left and he had the unusual experience of seeing a performance of a German opera there. He recalls stopping in Egypt where he bought a fez as a souvenir and ports in West Africa where the people would bring the crew gifts of fruit. In South Africa, the servicemen were met with a sign on the docks warning them that if they had anything to do with a black woman they would be executed. At one port in Africa, there was a load of army trucks to pick up and since he was the only one who knew how to drive, he had to drive them all onboard. Then there was the time he danced the tango all night with a beautiful girl in Argentina.
The Merchant Navy servicemen changed ships and crews often so there was not the camaraderie of servicemen who stayed together for longer periods of time.
“There would be some days of boredom on board but mostly we would be so busy with our duties and concerned about what was happening immediately that we didn’t have time to worry much about the long term. We knew how dif� cult things were at home. I had seen the bombing in Liverpool,” he said.
“We were on ship when the war was over. We got the message from German U-boat 101 which was nearby. We were
all just greatly relieved that we had made it through everything alive.”
He is proud that he did his duty and kept a clean record. He
still has one hand-written note from a superior of� cer saying, in part: “He (Lawton) is strictly sober
and has performed his duties with much credit to himself and a pleasure
to me.”
Lawton’s ship had been to Montreal during the war and he remembered
Canada as a friendly place where you could get chocolate milk. He moved to Canada in
1946, working in Montreal selling decals and later moving to Vancouver where he designed and sold decals. He met and married Patricia there and they moved to Vernon about 30 years ago. The war experiences still furnish material for the bedtime stories he tells her after 43 years of marriage.
“I don’t know about the war,” he said. “I don’t think it has taught people anything. We think about what kind of world we are leaving to our children but we also have to think about what kind of children we are leaving to our world.”

Walter Baye looks on his service in Korea as something that helped people who needed it at the time.
“War is not as much fun as you think when you’re growing up but it has to be done sometimes. I was a daring guy and I wanted to help so I signed up,” said Baye, 82, who spent two-and-a-half years with the Canadian Army in Korea during the Korean War 1950-1953.
He grew up on a ranch in Fish Creek, Saskatchewan, wanting to be a musician since he � rst played the guitar on a local radio station when he was � ve. He played the guitar to entertain friends in the army and always kept up with his favourite music, all country, all the time.
“It’s hard to talk about the war. You’d see your buddies getting hurt right beside you,” he said.
When Baye returned to Canada, he studied engineering, spent 18 years in the Abbotsford police force and kept up his music. He and wife Rosemarie formed the Midnight Travellers in 1980 and are still composing, recording and performing. They are lifetime members of the Canadian Country Music Association.
Baye and other Korean War Veterans received the Ambassador for Peace Medal from the South Korean government for their contributions to restoring democracy to South Korea.
“I feel honoured, completely. If I had to start over, I wouldn’t change a thing. I would stay out of wars but I would still do everything I could to help people,” he said.

Jack Hairsine was working in a bank in Vernon when he volunteered for the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1942.“It was the thing to do. I wanted to be a pilot. I had no experience with planes but it seemed kind of romantic,”
said Hairsine, 91, who was born and grew up in Vernon.He started his pilot training but then the leader of his group was called up leaving the group without an
instructor. The students were transfered to British Empire Air Planning and he was put into training to be a bomb aimer.
He joined Moose Squadron, based in Yorkshire, England and trained on Halifax bombers.“We did 13 operations, three over Berlin. One night we had to bail out over England from 20,000 feet. I
landed safely in a farmer’s � eld and he gave me a cup of tea when he was satis� ed that I wasn’t a German,” he remembered.
More operations followed.“As the bomb aimer I sat in the co-pilot’s seat. We would � y at about 21,000 feet and you could see the
coast line even at night. I had to tell the bomber when we were at target.”One night the plane was shot down and the crew bailed out over Leipzig and the men were taken prisoner of war. Hairsine developed TB, although he
did not know it at the time, and got down to just over 100 pounds at six-feet-tall.“All we had was basic shelter. The only thing we had lots of was turnips. I remember two guys � ghting over a
turnip peel. One guy said, ‘you’re talking to a pilot of� cer.’ The other guy wasn’t impressed at all. We just had to laugh. There wasn’t much but keeping a sense of humour to keep us going. There was nothing to do but walk around the camp area and stay inside the wire fence or be shot by a guard from the guard tower.”
He stayed in the camp for 14 months with no idea at the time when or if he would ever get out.“We were liberated in April 1945 by the British Forces - the Desert Rats and the 7th Armoured Guard. I stood
inside the camp and watched them go by bumper to bumper tanks for 48 hours on the way north to the German coast.”
Hairsine thought he had pleurisy when he was � own back to England but was diagnosed with TB there. He was in London in the hospital on VE Day May 8 1945 but shared in the general relief that the war was over in Europe.
When he returned to Canada, he spent six years in a sanitorium as rest was the only treatment for TB at the time. His sister, who was a nurse, persuaded a doctor to try the new treatment streptomycin and with this, and several operations, he began to recover.
“Gwen was my home care nurse and we fell in love and got married,” he said, looking at her fondly.Hairsine went to work for Archie Fleming Wholesalers and the couple raised a family of four children in Vernon.
