Born in Fort St. John, British Columbia, on 14 June 1926, Patterson enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1944, but soon transferred to the Army. Although he was demobilized at the end of the Second World War, he rejoined the armed forces in 1948 and served as an armourer until 1971, retiring as a warrant officer. In this testimony, Patterson recounts his service in the Korean War, describing the weather and mountainous terrain, his work as an armourer, a brush with a North Korean spy and the death of a young lieutenant.
