WINNER #1
My International Favorite Find for October 2014 is the Sterling Silver WWII Royal Canadian Air Force Memorial Bar. This moving remembrance was submitted by Joshua C. from Ontario, Canada. Thank you Joshua for submitting your story, and I hope someday you are able to return the memorial bar to the family of this fallen officer. For all to read, here is his letter (edited).
Dear Mr. Garrett,
Recently I was fortunate enough to recover this WWII Sterling Silver Memorial Bar, presented upon death, to families of fallen soldiers. Flight Officer Donald Cameron Walker, the 27 year old, only son of Robert and Ethel May Walker of Ontario, Canada, was numbered among those who, at the call of King and Country, left all that was dear to him, endured hardness, faced danger, and finally passed out of the sight of men by the path of duty and self-sacrifice, giving up his own life that others might live in freedom. Please join with me in my new found duty to ensure that his name not be forgotten.
Flight Officer Donald Walker
Royal Canadian Air Force
Died In His Country's Service
2 December 1943
Recovered On: July 6, 2014
Recovered By: Josh C.
Recovered At: Ontario, Canada
Recovered With: Garrett AT Pro
If I do happen to win a detector, it would bring me great joy to be able to present it to another aspiring treasure hunter, my son. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I look forward to speaking with you.
Happy Hunting! Joshua C.
Joshua C. WINS a Garrett AT Gold!
