![]() "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 father was in the RCAF during the war. He enlisted in 1939 and was honourably discharged in 1946. He was in a Repair and Recovery Squadron (don't happen to know which one though). He and his brother older brother Roger ended in England in the same squadron (somehow) and served together for the rest of the war in France, Belgium, Germany. His two other brothers served in the RCAF (Maurice and Andre) in Canada and in Newfoundland. |
