"SHIVER ME TIMBERS" wrote in message

Well after watching the Ken Burns series THE WAR ad naseum ad naseum,
I thought I'd come into the group today with one of my curious questions.

What did your parents, family, etc. do in the big WWII.

Mine worked at the Canada Car foundry in what was then called
Fort William, Ontario.

They were inspectors helping to make Hawker Hurricanes and later other
types of figthers including the Curtis Helldiver.

How about your folks.....


My dad (Francis (Frank) Frankcom) was a soldier in the 2nd / 7th Australian
Infantry Battalion in various places in the Pacific & Middle East theatres.
(Alamein, Kokoda, Burma, Ceylon + others)
He passed away in the late 70's (I never got to meet him as I was put up for
adoption at my birth in '59.)

May he rest in peace.

I give thanks to my dad and all his fellow service personel for helping make
the world a better place.
Lets try not to f*/& up all their good work eh?
