     He was born on 19 September 1907, Pembroke, Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada.1,2
     Rifleman George Walter Luloff died on 15 December 1944, Berg en Dal, Gelderland, Netherlands at age 37 near Eindjeshof farm, south of Erlekom. His body was not recovered. Two statements by riflemen indicate they were attacking an enemy position. They sheltered behind a dyke while artillery fired, then crawled forward over the dyke and road until they came to a second road leading to a farm building occupied by the enemy. They were ordered to fall back and then came under machine gun fire. The two witnesses got back to safety but did not see George Luloff again. He was serving with the Regina Rifles Regiment.1,2 He is remembered at Panel 11, the Groesbeek Memorial, Gelderland, Netherlands.3

     
Canadian Military Service:

     George Walter Luloff began military service on 7 August 1942 at the age of 34 years, 10 months and 19 days at Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He was a welder, single and a Lutheran.2

RECALL ONTARIO SCHOOL FRIENDS
     Rosenthal's Former Pupils Hold Reunion at Summach Home, Near Asquith
     ASQUITH — A very interesting and unusual event was arranged on Wenesday July 1 on the grounds of the home of Mr. A Summach, eight and one half miles south of Asquithin the Avondale district. The affair was unusual in that it was a "school pals reunion." Twenty-one families, 125 people gathered together in the afternoon, practically everyone having attended school in Rosenthal, Ont., some 25 or 30 years ago. A few of the neighbors other than the "school pals" were present also to make the afternoon a success.
     It was formally opened by all singing O Canada. An address which was delivered by A. Summach, renewed memories of the past.
     Mrs. W. Riston (sic) Sr., was the oldest parent in the gathering, the majority of the parents of those in the reunion having passed on in the pioneer days in the Killaoe, Ont., district. Lunch was served and photographs taken.
     Jack Berger and Mr. and Mrs. Summach had spent untiring efforts in organizing the event and making it a success. Willard and Ruby Berger, of Hanley, contributed two appropriate numbers: "The Little Red Schoolhouse, " and "Memories."4
