One of these mountains, Mount Vanstone, honours David William Vanstone.\u00a0 Other mountains nearby include Mount Oswald, named after Flying Officer Elmer Adrian Oswald, Mount Perkins named after Private Robert Ernest Perkins, Mount Ralph named after Able Seaman George Ralph, and Mount Whiting named after Able Seaman Basil Evans Whiting.\u00a0 Each of these men left Campbell River to serve their country and, in their passing, left behind loved ones and a community in mourning.<\/p><p>David William Vanstone was born in Vancouver in 1910. His parents were David and Eliza Vanstone, early settlers in North Campbell River.\u00a0 The Vanstone name is well-engrained in the local history books, with buildings, streets, and businesses past and present bearing their name.\u00a0 One of seven brothers, David grew up in Campbell River, where he started a career as a logger.\u00a0 When he enlisted in the army, he had a wife, Evelyn, and two young children, Elise and David.\u00a0 He enlisted on July 13, 1940 into the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Battalion, 16<sup>th<\/sup> Canadian Scottish Regiment (Canadian Active Service Force). He was later transferred to the 4<sup>th<\/sup> Battalion Seaforth Highlanders of Canada and was sent overseas to Italy, where he stayed until his injury at the Battle for Ortona, and later passing at a hospital in North Africa, in 1943.<\/p><p>Basil Whiting was born in Vancouver on March 23, 1923 but lived all his life in Whaletown on Cortes Island.\u00a0 He finished school at the age of 16 years old and worked as a logger in Whaletown for a few months before joining the Royal Canadian Navy.\u00a0 Basil mainly served aboard ships in the Atlantic on convoy missions.\u00a0 He served in 14 convoys before his ship, <em>HMCS Ottawa<\/em>, was torpedoed by submarine U91 off the coast of Newfoundland.\u00a0 After two strikes the ship sank. There were 67 survivors recovered and 114 lost at sea. Basil was among the lost.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bcec95a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bcec95a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1293f2a\" data-id=\"1293f2a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4396106 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4396106\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.20.0 - 26-03-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"201\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/crmuseum.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Elmer-Oswald-201x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-5420\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crmuseum.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Elmer-Oswald-201x300.jpg 201w, https:\/\/crmuseum.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Elmer-Oswald-687x1024.jpg 687w, https:\/\/crmuseum.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Elmer-Oswald-768x1145.jpg 768w, https:\/\/crmuseum.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Elmer-Oswald.jpg 849w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-964b067\" data-id=\"964b067\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cbebd35 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cbebd35\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Elmer Oswald was born in Rock Bay on November 8, 1921 to Swedish parents.\u00a0 The family lived in Heriot Bay, where his father worked as a fisherman.\u00a0 Before enlisting.
