Bill Orison Beaton (Primary Source)

In 2010, The Memory Project interviewed Bill Orison Beaton, a veteran of the Second World War, in Gibsons, British Columbia. The following recording (and transcript) is an excerpt from this interview. Born in Seattle, Washington, on 15 May 1923, Beaton enlisted in Santa Ana, California, in 1942 as a private in the American army; he was soon sent to flying school, however, and assigned to a heavy bomber group in Tucson, Arizona. In his testimony, Beaton describes his training in the United States Air Force. He experienced several emergencies and crashes, which led to the deaths of some of his crew members. Beaton never flew in combat but, he explains, his time in the air force was “a very exciting thing.” He moved to Canada in 1964.

Bill Watterson (Primary Source)

In 2009, The Memory Project interviewed Bill Watterson, a veteran of the Second World War. The following recording (and transcript) is an excerpt from this interview. Born in Ireland in 1924, Watterson emigrated to Canada with his parents. He enlisted in the 48th Highlanders, a militia regiment formed in 1891 in Toronto, Ontario, and then went to Camp Borden near Barrie, Ontario, which was then the largest military training facility in Canada. In Watterson’s testimony, he mentions his journey from Borden to England, France, the Netherlands, Germany, and Italy. Although Watterson returned to Canada unharmed, he describes the death of one of his friends during battle. The “Moaning Minnie” Watterson mentions was a nickname for a nebelwerfer, or smoke launcher – this was a type of German rocket artillery which made an extremely loud sound when launched. Upon his return home, Watterson trained to become a barber. He died in Scarborough, Ontario, on 26 April 2010.
