Montreal Gazette - Dunkirk's forgotten dynamo

On June 2, 1940, Royal Navy Commander J. Campbell Clouston of Montreal (a McGill student) died at sea. He was on his way back to Dunkirk, where he is credited with saving 100,000 soldiers stranded on the beach.

Happily, Clouston's name endures at McGill, inscribed in Memorial Hall's Book of Remembrance. An appropriate epitaph is also found there: "Time dims not the achievements of the brave. But worth shines steadfast even from the grave."
