Show Canada's Unsung Heroes Round Up Mines fyJLiTtjiSlf f2y'g','i8a4il!aJ Ll"t !i'JT..'LM.. - J i Among the unsung heroes of the war list the mine killers of the Royal Canadian navy. An offshoot of England's famous mine disposal squad, these men who flirt with death pick this job voluntarily and receive no "extras." Their job is to round up mines and render them harmless. The gentleman at the left who is "roughing up" a floating mine with an ice pick is Lieut. George Rundle, instructor at a Canadian port. After roughing, the mine is set afire with gasoline-soaked rags and blown up. Right: Lieutenant Rundle, Run-dle, with assistant Harold Simpson, tows a mine towards shore after Rundle had removed the horns that actuate the detonator. |
