Published: 3 June 2011

On June 2, 1940, Royal Navy Commander J. Campbell Clouston of Montreal (a 91˿Ƶ student) died at sea. He was on his way back to Dunkirk, where he is credited with saving 100,000 soldiers stranded on the beach.

Happily, Clouston's name endures at 91˿Ƶ, inscribed in Memorial Hall's Book of Remembrance. An appropriate epitaph is also found there: "Time dims not the achievements of the brave. But worth shines steadfast even from the grave."
