1942
John Duncan Jarvis

After we were at Crumlin about
three days, we learned something -- if there came a pull at our sleeves
and a plaintive voice saying, "Have you got a cigaret, chum?"...all we
did was claw through our pockets till we found the, find our matches
and without turning our heads hand them over with the admonition,
"okay, Jarvie, but this time don't take any for your uncle, too for
Pete's sake"...The chain-smoking fiend of Course 39 is, like Allan and
Priest, a native of Hamilton, where he was born some twenty-two years
ago and where he later attended Westdale Collegiate. A golf and
tennis enthusiast Jarvis went from Latin verbs to debits and credits
after leaving school when he went to work for the accounting firm of
Chagnon and MacGillvray, and was studying diligently for his Chartered
Accountancy when he joined up in Hamilton on May 27. |
