AMO Support for the Syrian Refugee Crisis – Call to Action

Dear Colleagues,

Like you, I have been deeply affected by the disturbing images and stark realities of the Syrian

refugee crisis. It is a situation that cries out for compassion and action.

AMO is challenging all of its member municipalities to donate at least $100 to aid in the

international effort to resettle the Syrian refugees in safe countries. We hope to raise at least

$40,000. This goal will help save two families and if we raise a greater amount, we can help save

more families.

Donations can be made by cheque payable to Association of Municipalities of Ontario, with

"Syrian Refugee Crisis" in the description field, and forwarded by Friday, October 2.

AMO will donate all of the proceeds to Lifeline Syria. This organization is seeking to resettle

and integrate 1,000 Syrian refugees in Ontario over the next two years, reuniting them with their

families. Lifeline Syria is a community-based initiative that will do this by helping to recruit,

train, and match private refugee sponsors in Ontario with Syrian refugees approved for

resettlement by the federal government. Sponsors will include organizations, individuals, or

groups of individuals such as faith-based groups. The Ontario government has provided seed

funding to Lifeline Syria to support its work but it is reliant on public donations to fulfill its

mandate. More information about the organization and the initiative is found on the Lifeline

Syria website.

I know how municipal governments in Ontario rally to help one another and their neighbours. I

implore you to accept this challenge and donate to this worthy cause. It is one small way we can

help ease the suffering of others through our financial contributions.

Sincerely,

Gary McNamara

President, Association of Municipalities of Ontario

P.S. For other ways to help, see International Organizations Seeking to Assist Syrian Refugees.

Preserving, Promoting and Presenting

the Heritage of Aylmer and Malahide

Mayor Davis’ War Diaries

We recently received and accepted a donation of artifacts relating to

the life of Herbert J. Davis, a former mayor of Aylmer. Included in

the donation were photos, letters, veterinary items, and his war

diaries.

H.J. Davis served as the mayor from 1927-1928, and 1938-1940. He

meticulously documented his time in the war, and we now have his

diaries from 1915, 1916, 1917, and 1918. They document, not only

the war-aspects, but also every day life including what they ate, the

friendships he made, and what they did in their spare time.

Sometimes the things you find tucked inside the pages can tell you

just as much as the words written in them. Tucked away on the

inside of the diaries were several items, including a bible study

card, notes he wrote and notes from his friends, insurance

information, a card for a laundry in Ypres, Belgium, and two photos

of unidentified women.

Below are select entries from his time overseas:

November 9, 1915 – “got up at 3 and went to guns until 6 first time

in my life large day. I saw my first gun go off. Battery fired 60 rounds

about 24 rounds high explosive then whole brigade pumped the lead

into a German Battery at 205 then off and on all afternoon. Germans

were shelling Kemmel I saw several light an awful mess brought down

the last estaminet we had one shell burst in front of a gun some noise.”

February 24, 1916 “Cold as fury this morning ride per usual. Fritz

dropped bombs in Bailleul today no damage. French brought down a

Zep yesterday near Bailleul. Not living very good down here

Thompson is a rotten cook, he is so lazy“

April 3rd 1916 “Frtiz still raising the dickens up around St. Eloi. We

are having a lot of causalities over it.”

the diary containing

photos, letters, and cards.

War Diary Excerpts Con’t

April 27 1916 “we took 2 prisoners. Gas expected. The tear gas

was so bad infantry put on their helmets. Have an awful time

getting rations”

July 8 1916 “a quiet day until about 4 then we started shooting

Frtiz up. We fired about 30 rounds they gave our front line hell.”

April 7, 1917 “a terrific bombardment about 5 this morning.

Rained all night.”

April 11, 1917 “this is the worst country in the world. It is

snowing nearly all day.”

April 21, 1917“a great mix up last night. 7 of 16 killed. Mounds

of horses. Frtiz shelled road in grand style. None of the guns

arrived in position”

May 28, 1917 -”Fritz was nasty last night. He was shelling

uncomfortably close most of the night. I was cook today, so of

course we had some good meals. Beautiful weather. Far too nice

to fight. We put in the time playing horseshoes”

June 13, 1917 “a very large day. Light (daylight) raid on London

took place today. 80 killed and 400 wounded is the latest. It was

awful”

September 5, 1917 “A beautiful day. Went to Boulonge. Met a

girl in a fish and chip place. Some time. Made a date with a

Boulonge Khaki girl for tomorrow night. Back to Wimereux and

met a nice little girl.”

September 22, 1917 - “Fritz raised the dickens with gas last

night. Broke every line.”

May 20, 1918 “Air raid caused over 200 casualties”

June 18, 1918 “Rather a rotten day. Didn’t do much but censor

letters and write a few”

July 19, 1918 “Beautiful day. Frtiz was very active again last

night. Dropped a bomb in the first section lines killing 22 horses

and wounding 34”

Arrived home October 7, 1918.
