Eveylyn was living in ' Prince Rupert at the time the | war broke out. ‘ She had come to Prince ' Rupert from Stasbourg, Sas- ‘ katchewan, : Her sister and brother-in- ‘law had moved to Prince Rupert before her, and they . ‘wrote ber saying that the ‘navy planned to train ; women welders. ; So Evelyn packed her ‘bags, bought a train ticket ‘and headed for the coast. | In August, 1943, Evelyn y began training in ‘the ship yards ta be a’ welder. She i was one of the first four ‘women taken on a trial : basis. ' All four passed their firsi class test. Soon they were joined with more women . being trained to work jobs at the shipyards. Fred MacDonald was their ‘ trainer, About a year after the war ‘broke out Evelyn was as- :Signed the job of helping to i build Victory ships to trans- (port troops, equipment and ‘supplies to England, | This was in preparation ‘for the invasion of ; Normandy. ; Evelyn and the other ‘weldereties, as they were ‘called, would work in the ‘ shop and on the ship, side : by side with the men.

They proved to be good at their jobs and the shipyards were more than pleased with their work. It was while Evelyn was living in Prince Rupert that she met her husband to-be Erie. Anweiler, a. corporal - in the army. He lived in the barracks on McBride Ave. The couple married on January 24, 1944. Then Emie left for En- gland and Evelyn retumed to her welding job.

Some of them came back to Canada in the form of newsreels, When the war ended Ernie crossed the line into enemy ferrilory to tell the other side that it was time to stop shooting. Now looking back over the years of peace Emie and Evelyn Anweiler are thank- ful. They were among those who travelled to the 50th anniversary of the freeing of the Netherlands. Evelyn was touched by how grateful the citizens are to Canadians, even today. It’s important that we, like the people of Holland, al- ways | remember the sacrifices that others made for us.
