    _______________________________

    Mel contacted me back in 2015 concerning his memories of the grave sites on his grandfather's property on Indiana and Dunham Streets in Kitchener. Mel provided invaluable information on the location of the graves, conditions of the bodies and location of the "Pest House". I remember him as a friendly and very concerned person who wanted that his unique memories to survive and they are preserved.

    Thanks Mel.

    ________________

    There are many stories of the brave of World War One. Other stories of those who served, survived and carried on normal lives.

    Some were injured, suffered a lifetime of health problems, other were injured mentally.

    One such person whose name is lost to history ended his days in Waterloo's House of Industry and Refuge. Unable to face people and was mentally paralyzed the horrors of war lived alone in a shack across from the house [now The AR Goudie long-term care home] on Frederick street.

    He remained during the shack during the daylight hours, coming out at night and helping to take care of the potato crop that grew in the field surrounding him.

    The Reiko family who lived across from the field on Indiana would leave meals for him at his door step and in return they would at times find that he had been busy in the middle of the night helping to care for the grounds about their house.
