Veteran Alfred Mugridge

     Alfred Mugridge was born on September 10th, 1934 in Summerside, Prince Edward Islands.  Alfred made the personal decision to join the military at the young age of 18.  After six months of training, he was sent to Korea where he spent the next twelve months of his life.  His duty in Korea was to run telephone lines from the headquarters to the soldiers on the front lines.  This was a highly dangerous job, as the enemy would often have snipers waiting for them.
     Following Korea, Alfred was stationed in occupied Germany for 2 years.  During his time of service, Alfred had leave in many different countries including: Italy, France, Denmark, Poland, Holland, Scotland and even the the city of Tokyo in Japan.  A year later, Alfred joined he Dewline defense in the Artic working on building sites.

     For the next 10 years Alfred drove a tractor trailer, then later worked in the construction industry in Newfoundland and Labrador for another five years.  He married Kay Dekker and had three children: Gary, Cindy and Karen.
     Alfred continues to reside in Summerside.  I certainly admire his courage and loyalty displayed towards our our country.  This brave man is may grandfather and I thank him for sharing his stories with me.
