Colin and Hugh Campion

My brother Colin (age 7) and myself (age 5) together with my mother came to Canada and must have passed through Pier 21 in July 1940 to spend the war years in Vancouver, B.C. where my mother helped organize the Women's Auxiliary to the Navy League Seamen's Club.

Sadly, the day after the Japanese surrendered, 15 August 1945, our mother died and my brother and I again passed through Pier 21 in November 1945 enroute back to England to board the Empress of Scotland (I believe) which also carried many Canadian War Brides of British servicemen.
