Hugh Rayment Circa 1947 |
| Former Algonquin Regiment Infantryman and author ... "Once I got blown off the top of a Sherman tank during the advance in Holland ... I was one of nine survivors in my platoon after an attack on the dikes of the Breskens Pocket ... worst thing of all was evacuating civilian prisoners from a German work camp ... men and women who no longer remembered who they were or where they came from." |
| Rayment’s personal experiences in, The
Farm Boy’s Diary, allows us a glimpse of war. Hugh recovered from the
horrors of War to become a technician, a successful salesman, an
entrepreneur, and finally a dedicated school teacher. Hugh and his wife,
Elsie, have raised a family of six and have twelve grandchildren and
twelve great grandchildren.
They are now settled in Vernon, enjoying the beautiful Okanagan Valley.
