Biographical history

Jack Knowles Hurst, a captain with the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps, accompanied a 'cat train' loaded with transformers for the Snare River Hydro Dam Project to study the difficulties of winter transport. The transformers were moved from Yellowknife to Snare Lakes in the 1947-1948 season. Corporal W. Mahon and Corporal D.D. Hopkinson, of the RCAF, accompanied Hurst on the 300-mile journey across Great Slave Lake.
