History of Branch 9
rcldistrict2nl002010.jpg
On Saturday, March 16th, 2024 Comrade Johnny Pauls of Spaniard's Bay was celebrated for his longevity, wartime service and commitment to the legion. More than 130 people gathered at Branch 9 to pay tribute to the former merchant mariner, known affectionately in Spaniard's Bay as "Uncle." Comrade Pauls witnessed the conclusion of the war in 1945 and has outlived all but a handful of those who survived the horrors of the deadliest conflict in history. Below are a few pictures taken during the celebration. (Click on photo for Larger Image)
