Interesting story about William Barker on the evening news tonight.  Barker was the most decorated armed forces member in the Commonwealth, sadly he lost his life in an airplane crash in the 1930's.  His funeral in Toronto brought an estimated 50,000 people to line the route to the cemetery.  From there his story and history seemed to fade from time and public knowledge.  It has only been in the last ten years or so that his accomplishments have again been brought to light.


Rest In Peace Mr. Barker, you had lots of people visit you to thank you today.
