The Albert Waldron Family

It was common for several members in a family to enlist during the WWII. This was the case in the Albert Waldron family who grew up north of Loverna in the Antelope Park district. According to information printed in the history book ‘The School Beneath the Hill’, several of Albert and Mary Jane Waldron’s children served in the Armed Forces.
The couple had a dozen children, and five of them served. George was in the army for over five years and Jack was in the army for four years. Marguerite and Dorothy were in the Air Force for two and a half years, as well as their brother Bill.
