Remembering the fighting Worlands By Brad GREENSHIELDS
AT 11am on Wednesday morning, Pam Worland will again feel a sense of pride

only 16 years-old but as he was a big strapping lad Les was able to convince the army that he was 18. When word reached his father in Egypt that Les was going to join his brothers, Arthur intervened to get his youngest son discharged. Pam’s connection to the family is through Nugget being her father-in-law. Her husband Jim was Nugget’s eldest son. Initially a member of the Field Ambulance Brigade, Nugget transferred to the 1st Artillery Field Brigade early in 1917 to be with David, Harold and Alec resulting in the four brothers manning one gun. Having survived multiple gunshot wounds he suffered in France, Pam said Nugget’s service didn’t end there. “He joined up again for the second one (World War II),” she said.
