The 19 Wing Comox Permanent Married Quarters, the military housing for members and their families, were called "Wallace Gardens." The neighbourhood was named in honour of Clarence Wallace CBE OD, who had been a Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia. Born in Vancouver, he fought in World War I and was wounded at Ypres, and would build ships for the war during World War II. He had four sons in the RCAF during World War II: one killed in the Battle of Britain, two shot down on operations and who returned home, and one who completed his service unharmed.
