The Neder Rijn Engineer Park building is named for the Neder Rijn River where 23rd Field Company, RCE, evacuated soldiers from the 1st British Airborne Division during the ill-fated capture of the Arnhem Bridge in September 1944.
Allied Forces launched OPERATION MARKET GARDEN on 17 September 1944 with the aim of capturing major bridges at Eindhoven, Nijmegen, Arnhem and points in between. The capture of bridges at Eindhoven and Nijmegen was successful but encountered stiff opposition, delaying the relieving force from reaching Arnhem and the 1st British Airborne Division. With limited elements across the Neder Rijn (Lower Rhine) River at Arnhem, by 21 September the 1st British Airborne Division could no longer hold on and began withdrawing their soldiers across the river. By the night of 25 Sept, a more robust withdrawal plan was put in place- OPERATION BERLIN. Through the efforts of 260 and 553 Field Companies, RE and the 20th and 23rd Field Companies, RCE, close to 2500 soldiers of the 1st British Airborne Division were evacuated by boat, from the far bank of the Neder Rijn River to a landing point near Driel. As the result of their conduct during this operation, Major M.L. Tucker received the Distinguished Service Order, Lieutenant R.J. Kennedy the Military Cross, and Sappers H.D. Thicke, D.J. McCready and R. Lebouthillier received the Military Medal.

Caserne Prince Barracks
Sergeant Tommy Prince was a prominent Anishinaabe activist who served in the Second World War and Korean War. His story is one of the most widely known examples of the wartime contributions of Indigenous soldiers in the mid-20th century and the poor treatment they received upon their return to civilian life in Canada. His accomplishments attracted national media attention during his lifetime and earned him a great many posthumous tributes.
Prince was born in October 1915 in St. Peter's Reserve, Manitoba. He was the great-grandson of respected Ojibwa Chief Peguis, and one of eleven children born to Elizabeth and Henry Prince. In 1920, they moved to Brokenhead Ojibway Nation in Scanterbury, Manitoba. At age five, Prince was forced to leave his community and attend Elkhorn Residential School, where he joined the Cadet Corps. He suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder from the residential school before he joined the military.
In 1940, he volunteered to fight for Canada in the Second World War. He rose from sapper to lance corporal with the Royal Canadian Engineers before volunteering for the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion in 1942. Soon after, he was assigned to the elite 1st Canadian Special Service Battalion, which was attached to the First Special Service Force (Devil’s Brigade). He reached the rank of sergeant by war’s end, and was one of three Canadians to receive both the Silver Star (United States) and the Military Medal. King George VI presented him with both honours during a ceremony at Buckingham Palace in 1945, shortly before Prince’s discharge from the army.
He wanted to prove his people were as good as any white man and restore their good name. One way to achieve this was to acquire as many medals as possible and he did so without putting his men at risk. Before any patrols he would ensure they were camouflaged and everything was secured. Often he would patrol alone because there would be less noise. Prince was a natural warrior and he excelled as the military developed the skills he learned on the reserve while living off the land. He loved the Devil's Brigade and was always praising his men, "If it wasn't for my men, I wouldn't be who I am today." He was a caring man who loved to joke around and make people laugh.
He was a prominent leader in the Indigenous rights movement of the 1940s. After the war, he served as spokesperson and vice-president of the Manitoba Indian Association, and appeared on its behalf before a Special Joint Committee of the Senate and House of Commons, tasked with studying the Indian Act. During his testimony in 1947, he advocated for the abolition of the Indian Act and respect for existing treaties, and presented submissions from Indigenous in Manitoba, which called for improved schools, better living conditions, and expanded hunting, trapping, and fishing rights.
In 1950, Prince re-enlisted in the Korean War. He contributed to the defence of Hill 677 in the Battle of Kapyong in 1951, for which the United States awarded the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry the Distinguished Unit Citation—the only time a Canadian unit has received this honour. Military service took a heavy toll on his health and, following his honourable discharge from the army, he faced a difficult return to civilian life in Manitoba. Prince endured discrimination, illness, and poverty in the years that followed and died in 1977. He fought many demons after residential school and the horrors of combat, but he never lost his humility, self-worth, sense of humour and pride of being Anishinaabe.
The Prince Barracks in CFB Petawawa are named in his memory.

This access gate is named in honour of John Alexander Douglas McCurdy, a former member of 2nd Field Company, Canadian Engineers, and one of the pilots conducting the first military powered aircraft flight in Canada.
John Alexander Douglas McCurdy was born in Baddeck, NS on 2 August 1886. He attended St. Andrew’s College in Aurora, ON and graduated from the University of Toronto in mechanical engineering in 1906. During his studies at U of T, he joined 2nd Field Company, Canadian Engineers, before working with Alexander Graham Bell on the development of powered aircraft. In July-August 1909, he and colleague F.W. Baldwin assembled the Silver Dart and Baddeck I at Camp Petawawa and proceeded to conduct a number of demonstration flights. McCurdy continued his work with Bell’s Aerial Experiment Association and opened Canada’s first aviation school in 1915. He helped create Canadian Aeroplanes Ltd. In 1916, producing planes for the Royal Flying Corps. He continued his involvement in airplane production throughout the inter-war years and the Second World War and in 1947 was appointed the Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia. McCurdy died in 1961, following a lengthy illness, and was buried in his native Baddeck, NS.

The first military demonstration of aircraft flight in Canada
was given at Petawawa Camp in August 1909, by
J.A.D. McCurdy and F.W. Baldwin, with the assistance of
the Royal Canadian Engineers. On the morning of 2 August,
they made three successful flights in the Silver Dart. This
aircraft was destroyed in landing after the fourth flight.
Further flights were made in the Deddeck No. 1 on 12 and
13 August. The tests ended on 13 August, after this aircraft was damaged.

The Silver Dart, a monument in CFB Petawawa, is in memory of the first military demonstration of powered aircraft flight in Canada that was given at Camp Petawawa on 2 August 1909 by J.A.D. McCurdy and F.W. Baldwin in the Silver Dart. Both pilots, former members of the 2nd Field Company, Toronto and Engineers of No 8 Engineer Services and Works Company, acted as the ‘ground crew.’
Today, an access gate separating the domestic area from the military part of the Base is called McCurdy Gate to further remember one of the pilots. (Also refer to memorial number 35070-039)

This memorial is dedicated to the 2nd Regiment, Royal Canadian Horse Artillery. It was erected by the 7th Toronto Regiment of the Royal Canadian Artillery.
The painted, concrete horse was installed at Canadian Forces Base Petawawa in 1988 as a symbol of the association of the artillery unit in Petawawa and the artillery unit in Toronto. In 2018, Memorial Restorations restored the memorial and plaque and installed a second plaque.
