  • Son of John Oliver and Sarah (nee Campbell) Law of Darlingford, MB. Albert grew up surrounded by his 12 siblings: Cora, Harold, Bertha, Marjorie, Fred, Mary, Ralph, Glenn, Allan, Eva, Ella and Doug (pictured). Growing up, Albert loved to read and play sports, including tennis, hockey and baseball. He was an above average student, who went on to work in a garage and later became a general store clerk. He married Betty Jean (nee Amy, also of Darlingford) Law on October 27, 1942, just over a year after enlisting with the RCAF.

    F/O Law was viewed by his colleagues as confident, alert and sincere. During his training, his superiors said he was "cool and reliable in air. On ground he is hardworking and intelligent." However, he later expressed anxiety about flying and his training as an Air Gunner was discontinued. Instead he became a Pilot Officer, and was later promoted to Flying Officer. He was killed on July 10, 1943 during air operations over Gelsenkirchen, Germany when his aircraft was struck by a shell fragment. The remaining six crew members returned uninjured.
