Hubert Hall and Edward Livesay interview
The item is an audio recording with Bert Hall, surveyor and corporal in the Rocky Mountain Rangers during the 1900s, tells tall tales, and recalls an incident when he was mistakenly shot at, taken for another person involved in a vendetta. The last ten minutes of track 1 is Ted Livesay telling of his navy experiences. He joined the naval reserve corps in Esquimalt in 1913. In track 2 Ted Hall describes his experiences aboard the HMCS "Rainbow": its role in the "Komagata Maru" incident, and a near miss with German cruisers in the Pacific during WWI. Subsequently he served on the East Coast on the HMCS "Niobe"; then with the British navy in the North Atlantic. Later recollection of a ship's surgeon by the name of Captain Nimmo [?].
