Charles A. Griffiths

Chronically remembered for his ultimate sacrifice, Charles A. Griffiths enlisted as an RCAF Lancaster bomber pilot at just 20 years old. During a perilous 1944 mission over Germany, he bravely stayed at the controls of his rapidly descending aircraft to allow his crewmates to parachute to safety, cementing his legacy as a heroic member of Selkirk’s historic Dufferin Gang.
