'Friends Not Forgotten'
Reg.#3846,
NWMP Constable James Arthur Bennett
Killed in 'Halifax Explosion'
All Vets who are connected to the National RCMP Database collection are especially touched when a member of the Force is contacted by a family member with information on a past loved one.
Recently, a family member of Reg. #3846, Constable James A. Bennett contacted Supt. Brian Brennan, CROPS, 'H' Div. and provided the photo and information as seen above.
Sadly, Cst. Bennett had to leave the Force in the Yukon for medical reasons. Up until that time, his conduct was reported to be '...very good'.
Equally sad was that after a few years upon returning to Halifax, he was killed in the 'Halifax Explosion' on December 6, 1917. Reg.#3846, Constable James Arthur Bennett is buried in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
