  • Notes 
    • Flying Officer, James McVeigh Flood, was known as Mac. While in the RCAF, in WWII, his plane was shot down, over France, at a small town called Aufe. The local mayor a man named Bataille, helped resue his body before the plane burned and buried James in the mayor's family plot. In the early 50's his remains were transferred to the air force cemetery, near Dieppe, in the Dieppe Canadian War Cemetery, (Hautot-Sur-Mer) , in Seine-Maritime, France. His service number was J/35208, and he was a pilot in the 421st. Sqdn.

      His name appears on the Cenotpath, in Hearst, Ontario, where he was raised.
