Memorial Service Held In Honor Of Serg. - Pilot Andrew Campbell (1942) - Grace - St. Andrew's United church was crowded to capacity on Sunday evening when people from White Lake and district, Pakenham and Arnprior assembled in a memorial service in honor of Sergeant Pilot William Andrew Campbell, who was killed on active service overseas on Friday, February 6th. The congregation of White Lake United joined with Grace - St. Andrew's for this impressive service. Rev. D. H. Woodhouse was assisted by Rev. D. Gault of White Lake . As a guard of honor the R.C.A.F. boys of Arnprior's Elementary Training School attended in a body, accompanied by the Arnprior Boy Scouts and occupied the front seats of the church. Flowers were placed on the altar by the Young People's Society of Grace - St. Andrews , the Boy Scouts and Mr. Herman Dugo, in memory of Andrew Campbell. Rev. D. Gault read the scripture lessons from Psalm 46 and 7th chapter of Revelations. He also lead in prayer. The choir under the direction of Miss Jane Boyle sang an anthem. Rev. Mr. Woodhouse, in his remarks, stated that, this was a tragic moment in our history. Being overseas himself in the last war, he stated he knew it would be only a matter of time till tragedy would be brought home and he would be called upon to perform the sad duty. When great forces are locked in conflict, he stated, it was something to be proud to be able to give to that great cause - one who was dearest. Andrew Campbell was a model of good conduct - a type of boy we can scarcely afford to lose, clean and of fine moral character. He knew life was serious and lived it so. He had two homes - his parental home at White Lake and with his grandmother, Mrs. Wm. Watchorn in Arnprior, while attending school. His passing is undoubtedly a tragic blow, yet he leaves a challenge to us to live nobly. What a pleasure to his bereaved ones to know the life he lived. Even though sad, it was a glorious victory, as Andrew Campbell died in the harness doing something worth while. He responded to a good cause and has made the supreme sacrifice. Sergt. - Pilot Andrew Campbell enlisted in July 1940, at the time he received his call he was holding a position in the office of Mines and Resources in Ottawa . He was barely, two months overseas when he met his tragic death. The flag in the church was at half mast throughout the service and while God Save The King was being sung, the flag was hoisted by the Troop Leader, Fraser Woodhouse. A delegation from the Young People's Society of Pakenham. attended in a body. The memorial plaque was draped during the memorial service.
