This year, the life of World War I veteran Theo Bailey will be celebrated. Mr. Bailey enlisted with the 1st Canadian Infantry Battalion in 1915. He served as a battalion bomber, becoming promoted to Corporal. He and his battalion fought in Belgium and France in the battles of Ypres, Salient and the Somme, eventually participating in the Battle of Vimy Ridge on April 9, 1917. In May, Theo was injured by shrapnel, returning to Canada on a hospital ship with a long recovery ahead. He was discharged from the military in 1918. Theo Bailey became a distinguished, popular and respected Camrosian. He was a pharmacist, drug store owner, Royal Canadian Legion president, town councillor, Rotary Club president, postmaster, accomplished athlete, hockey referee, Chamber of Commerce member and was always active in his church. He helped raise an impressive amount of money for the first swimming pool in Camrose. Theo is affectionately remembered for his faithful service to the community. For many, many years, he organized the local November 11th Remembrance Day service. For more details about this year’s Founders Day festival, turn to pages 12, 17 and 36 of this issue.
