Korean War Veteran Clarence Dockstader — second from left — and fellow Veterans Gary Phillips, Roy Empey, Brian Wood and Bob Nelson marked the 60th anniversary of the end of the Korean War at the Ladysmith Cenotaph Saturday, July 6. Dockstader served in Korea aboard the Royal Canadian Navy’s HMCS Crusader during a conflict that claimed the lives of an estimated 2.5 million civilians and 500,000-plus soldiers, including 516 Canadians. Fighting ended July 27, 1960, through the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement, a ceasefire agreement which remains in effect today.
