Clarence “Classy” Heldson

Clarence, or “Classy” Heldson, as he was always known, came from Norwich, Ontario to Kindersley around 1911. He was young and single at the time and stories say that it was his reputation for wearing fancy clothes that had given him the name of “Classy” Heldson.

Classy enlisted in the armed forces in World War I, went overseas with a Canadian battalion, was badly wounded in the shoulder and received disability pension for the rest of his life.
