Canada has played a vital part in that grim campaign of bringing back peace to all people...That is why this tribute is particularly being paid to the returning soldiers of Ukrainian descent of Grimsby...Ukrainians of Canada are proud of their record in World War II. 40,000 of them have answered to the call of the Empire and taken up arms. And in this grand achievement Ukrainian Catholic servicemen and women of Grimsby and vicinity are embodied. They number over forty. They are: Olga Andreychuk, Walter Christian, Edward Cyprik, Leslie Disik, Michael Duryshyn, Bill Fillimchuk, Michael Fillimchuk, Peter Fedor, William Fedor, Frank A. Goutowski, Walter Halinski, George Hareychuk, William Hareychuk, Myron Kalinovich, Norman Komariansky, Elsie Kowbliuk, Nicholas Kowbliuk, Mike Kulmatycky, Walter Kusy, Alec Laba, Matthew Laba, Michael W. Laba, Michael J. Laba, Walter Laba, Dmetro Labiuk, Bill Labiuk, Edward Maryniuk, Neil Maryniuk, Harry Miller, Steve Podubinsky, Walter Prybitka, Bill Romak, Dmetro Romak, Peter Rushak, William C. Sopo, Bill Swirsky, Ernest Wall, Adam Wisnoski, Bill Wisnoski, John Wisnoski, Mike Woron, Andrew Kakchuk, John Sopo.. A fine bunch of lads as only Canada can produce...Today many of those boys are back home, others are en route to Grimsby. But there are some whom we shall never meet in Grimsby again....
