Budd, E.B.

On Detachment from 1 Line Troop, Edmonton.

(Entry for 1956) On Sunday 14th October sorrow descended on the System once again when Sig. Budd, EB, of Western Command Signals Regiment, was electrocuted at Fort Smith while carrying out repairs to RC Signals control cable there. The control cable was strung on a pole line also used by Northern Canada Power Commission for a high voltage power line and Budd accidentally came in contact with the lethal high voltage.
Excerpt from “A Short History of the NWT&Y Radio System”.
