They were the first Canadian casualties flown in from the war zone. The Army had withheld announcement of their arrival as a security measure. The men are described as walking wounded.

Expectation is that 1952 will see the PGE completed into Prince George. Meanwhile, work also proceeds on the Hart Highway which will connect Prince George with Dawson Creek through Pine Pass and bring the Peace River site on the Nechako River, a dis-country tributary to central British Columbia instead of to Edmonton as it has always been. Hon. E. C. Carson, minister of public works, has promised that the Hart Highway will be completed by September.
