Harold D’acre (pronounced “Day-ker”) Robinson Lowe was born in Liverpool, England on February 1, 1886, one of four sons born to Matthew Booth Lowe and his wife Sarah Ann of St. Helen’s, Lancashire, England. The entire family moved to Toronto around 1905 and farmed there.
A town lowers their Canadian flag and RCMP gather in red serge only when a hero has fallen, and Drumheller did so when it lost a three term mayor who attracted the monument which put it on the map.
Drumheller’s history is certainly colourful, and one of those characters that jump off the page is Willard Roy Sandercock.
