Abram H. Arbour
Son of Nathan and Etta Arbour; husband of
Clarice May Arbour, of Newhaven, Sussex, England. Had one daughter. He was awarded the Military Cross,
according to a Department of National Defence release of February 6, 1945.
The citation accompanying the award read: "During the night of August 7,
1944, an infantry regiment attacked and captured the town of Fonteney-le-Marmion.
On consolidation one of the companies was allotted the defence of the
northern section of the town in the vicinity of battalion headquarters.
During the early hours of the morning, August 8, the enemy shelled and
mortared the town very heavily. The company commander was wounded and C.S.M.
Arbour immediately took over command of the company and completed
reorganization of the defence position. At approximately 8 a.m. an enemy
counterattack in some strength moved against the company position. This
attack was pinned down by small-arms fire, and C.S.M. Arbour personally
formed and led a counterattack force to mop up the enemy. With utter
disregard for personal danger and with absolute confidence he formed a
composite force. Under covering fire from 11 and 12 platoons, they assaulted
and killed or captured the enemy force that threatened his company position.
C.S.M. Arbour, by his speed in handling a difficult situation, and his superb
courage, was directly responsible for the battalion holding and consolidating
the objective.” He enlisted with the Canadian Army on September 11, 1939, and
went overseas on Aug. 24, 1940. He took part in the fighting at Caen and
Dieppe.
