AUDIT ROW #291 · 1919 · 1945–46 · 1953 · VIETNAM — THE INDEPENDENT'S FILES ARE THE RECORD

The town's welcome-home record — who was met, feasted, and paraded for, war by war — does not stand in any source reached from this seat, and this article closes the row as a named gap rather than borrow a neighbouring town's homecomings. What stands banked is the other half of those stories: the Vietnam Six are told whole in the W-3 pass, and the wars' own courses are the wars leg's. The homecoming half — 1919's, 1945–46's, 1953's, and the Vietnam era's, when the town's welcome was famously thinner everywhere — lives where such things were printed: the Walkerton Independent's files for those years, named here as the settler, in the order given. A runner who has not read those files does not get to write the parades, and this section does not.

Principal sources: Wars & Military Service (the Vietnam Six and Post 189), pointed to; settler named — the Walkerton Independent's files, 1919, 1945–46, 1953, and the Vietnam years.
