Geocache Description:

​  Dream's Lost is dedicated to the memory of  Edward Douglas Lawley  LAC R62488  . Killed Sept. 15/42 age 23 . " Eddie " was the son of Vi and Allan Lawley a pioneer family who lived  a few hundred meters SW oif the cache . On a test flight aboard a Wellington aircraft the plane went into a sudden 45 degree dive and crashed at Thursby , Lincolnshire , England .     


 Eddie also had two uncles who were killed in World War One , Edward and Robert Baty . The Baty family lived in Saskatoon and for a time their home was the Garrison Building at 10th and Broadway . Three Baty men served but only one returned home . The pictures shown in the gallery here are courtesy of his sister Lillian Lawley ( Liston) . They form part of a remembrance display erected each year at 708 Broadway . If you look to the north from the cache site you will see a grove of large evergreen's , these were planted by the Lawleys before the war to shelter a future building site . Eddie was the only son in the family and with his death the plans were never fulfilled . The trees are starting to show thier age and are not as lush and healthy as a few decades ago .The senior Lawleys continued to farm as best they could with the help of lifelong " hired man " Andy Hood . Andy had a farm of his own at one time but I think it was one of many that did not survive the drought of the 1930s . They finally retired to a bungalow at Main & Lansdown Ave .where we were once again neighbour's as I lived just a few doors away . Lillian one of the daughters lived only a block away on 10th St.. I have been told that one of the nearby acreage homes belongs  to decendants of Allan and Vi Lawley    

         .This cache is an easy stop and grab on the south side of the road that contains only a log in a hanging pill bottle. Don't forget to check out the photo gallery .
