As part of the
training, and as a fundraiser the OTC staged the 3rd
Victory Loan Campaign on Oct. 31, 1942 a recapturing
of Brockville from the "Nazis". The Germans invaded
Brockville on October 31st, 1942, as a Victory Loan
Show. The staged attack involved holding the Mayor of
Brockville, MacOdrum, and Town Council as prisoners
in Victoria Hall. The Canadian forces attacked in an
attempt to defeat the "Germans" and liberate the town.
The Canadians were successful in capturing the Germans
and marching them down West Market Street. All those
involved were officers from the OTC in Brockville, and
candidates for the OTC. |
