On Saturday August 9, 1997, the citizens of Westmeath Township gathered to remember 39 service men killed in action during the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War.

Two brothers on the cenotaph, Carson and Warrington Foy, were the sons of John and Mabel Foy. They died just weeks apart in the Second World War by friendly fire incidents. A Memorial Cross was sent to the family for each son, but were lost over time. In the fall of 2010, the medals were recovered from eBay and prepared for final display in the Westmeath Hall.

General Panet High School
War or Conflict Term
Province
Body Content

General Panet High School was named in honour of Major-General Henri Alexandre Panet, who was born in Quebec City on July 24, 1869. He graduated from the Royal Military College in 1891 and was promoted to Lieutenant in the Royal Canadian Artillery in 1894. In October 1899, Captain Panet embarked with the 2nd Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment for service in South Africa where he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order.

On return to Canada, he was promoted to Major in May 1901, and appointed Staff Adjutant at the Royal Military College. Following two senior staff appointments, he was appointed to command “B” Battery. He was promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel in May 1911 and appointed to command the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery Brigade and Commandant of the Royal School of Artillery.

On October 1, 1914, he departed for England and deployed to Flanders with his Brigade in July 1915, seeing action on the Somme. In June 1916, he was promoted Colonel and Mentioned-in-Dispatches, a distinction he was to receive seven times. In December 1916, he was promoted Brigadier-General and appointed Commander, Royal Artillery 2nd Canadian Division, an appointment he held until April 1919. He was promoted again in May 1921 and served as Commander Number 1 District from 1919 until 1922 and Commander Number 2 District from 1922 to 1923. He was appointed Adjutant General in July 1922 and retired in December 1930. He died in Kingston on August 14, 1951 and was buried with full military honours.

In 2015 the school was demolished. The statue of General Panet, which stood in the front lobby of the school was restored by the Garrison Petawawa Museum.  It is on glass display in the Canex Retail Complex which was built on the former site of the General Panet High School.

The Neder Rijn Engineer Park building is named for the Neder Rijn River where 23rd Field Company, RCE, evacuated soldiers from the 1st British Airborne Division during the ill-fated capture of the Arnhem Bridge in September 1944. 

Allied Forces launched OPERATION MARKET GARDEN on 17 September 1944 with the aim of capturing major bridges at Eindhoven, Nijmegen, Arnhem and points in between. The capture of bridges at Eindhoven and Nijmegen was successful but encountered stiff opposition, delaying the relieving force from reaching Arnhem and the 1st British Airborne Division. With limited elements across the Neder Rijn (Lower Rhine) River at Arnhem, by 21 September the 1st British Airborne Division could no longer hold on and began withdrawing their soldiers across the river. By the night of 25 Sept, a more robust withdrawal plan was put in place- OPERATION BERLIN. Through the efforts of 260 and 553 Field Companies, RE and the 20th  and 23rd Field Companies, RCE, close to 2500 soldiers of the 1st British Airborne Division were evacuated by boat, from the far bank of the Neder Rijn River to a landing point near Driel. As the result of their conduct during this operation, Major M.L. Tucker received the Distinguished Service Order, Lieutenant R.J. Kennedy the Military Cross, and Sappers H.D. Thicke, D.J. McCready and R. Lebouthillier received the Military Medal.
