Queen’s jubilee medal | ‘ honours wartime nurse MORE THAN 4,000 nurses helped care for Canada’s wounded soldiers during ‘the Second World War. One local girl, Maxine (“Macci”) Bredt, nee Lle- wellyn, was one of them. Maxine, now aged 84, recently received the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal in recognition of her years of service as a volunteer visiting veterans at the Saint Anne’s mili- tary hospital in Quebec. Why I say local: Max- ine is the daughter of the late John Wes Llewellyn and Elizabeth Gaines Lle- wellyn. That family arrived in Terrace in 1929. ; But first iet’s go back a little. The Llewellyn fami- ly immigrated to Canada from Montana in 1922, After some hard. years farming, they decided to leave for greener pastures. They left Montana with 10. children and whatever they could pack in a hasti- ly-constructed covered wagon: 12 head of horses, a couple of milking cows to provide milk for the children, and headed for Swan River, Manitoba. Son Lee Llewellyn, who still lives in Terrace, remembers that journey very well. He was nine years old at the time and tode horseback along ta the border, and ted the caravan across to Canada. . The first few months at ‘Swan River were pretty lean times, “Lee remembers some- one had left tons of frozen potatoes at the place _ where: the family lived. ‘He said if it hadn’t have been for those frozen pota- toes, the family could have had a pretty tough time, if it hadn’t have - been for the tons of frozen toes, the family could have had a pretty tough time.

In 1939, she returned to Prince Rupert to work as a nurse while waiting for the army to call her up for overseas duty. "In May, 1944, Maxine left for Europe as a nurse and served as a nursing - sister in Italy. While she was there, local boy Otto -- Lindstrom looked her up, “as he too was overseas during wartime.
