The War Memorial at Oyster Pond - Cecil Mitchell

In 1926, the Monument in Memory of our men who served in the First World War was erected at the crossroads of the Main Highway and East Jeddore Road under the supervision of Nelson Webber of Oyster Pond. The Promoters of this Monument Project were Seldon Webber, Josiah Mitchell, Elijah Mitchell, Reuben Mitchell and Cecil Mitchell. All members of the Orange Lodge approved of this Memorial. It was purchased from Alonzo Harpell. Captain Wallace and Elijah Mitchell were responsible for transporting it from Halifax to the Oyster Pond Government Wharf. When the "Iolanthe" docked at the wharf, men came from all around to help unload it because it was awkward and very heavy. It was decided to locate it at the crossroads. For many years, it was a landmark; however, when a new highway was built, it was moved to its present location, the former site of Fred and Thomas Stoddard's work shop. After the Second World War, the names of our men killed in action were written on a Plaque affixed to the Memorial. The community of Oyster Pond added Private Nathan Smith to its list of war heroes, placing his name on the local cenotaph – the first addition since the Korean War.

The Victoria Cross Memorial Gallery is dedicated not only to Robert Hampton Gray and David Ernest Hornell who received the Victoria Cross while in service to their country, but also to the memory of those who served in all aspects of Canadian Military Maritime Aviation. The Gallery includes portraits of Gray and Hornell, artwork depicting their act of heroism and other pertinent displays within the museum collection. The Victoria Cross is the highest honour in the Canadian honours system, taking precedence over all other orders, decorations, and medals. The Victoria Cross is awarded to an officer or soldier for the most conspicuous bravery, a daring or pre-eminent act of valour or self-sacrifice or extreme devotion to duty, in the presence of the enemy.

In recognition of his achievements during his naval service, the Shearwater Aviation Museum has generously dedicated the renaming of the West Wing to "Soward Hall". Soward, Stuart Edward (1924 - 2011) from Vancouver, enlisted in the RCAF in June1943 for pilot training. In 1945, he enlisted in the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm as a pilot, and transferred to the RCN. He had a rewarding career as an operational naval pilot having flown 15 different aircraft, and flying fighter and ASW aircrafts aboard all three of Canadas' aircraft carriers, participating in the Cold War with NATO forces. In 1954, Stu was commended by the Chief of the Naval Staff for his invention and development of an improved aircraft night landing signal system. Following command of the West Coast Naval Air Squadron and Staff appointments, he retired in 1970 at Victoria as Lieutenant Commander. From 1987, Stu wrote and published a total of four books over the next eight years. All were on the subject of Canadian Naval Aviation history and related flying activities. In 1988, focusing his interest in Lt Gray's heroic exploit, he initiated a project to erect a memorial at Onagawa Bay, Japan where Gray was killed. With strong support from the Canadian Embassy Tokyo, the monument was unveiled on August 9, 1989. Accordingly, Stu was awarded the Naval Officers' Association of Canada Medal For Exemplary Achievement in Service to NOAC and Canada. In 1995, Stu was awarded the Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation, recognizing the efforts of those Veterans who in an exemplary way have contributed to the remembrance of the sacrifices and achievements of Canadians in armed conflict on behalf of Canadian Veterans.
