Hi Temujin. Yes!! This is him. I've forwarded a note to my friend, suggesting she join the site. I know she'll be thrilled. Anything you can come up with will be great. I believe she is interested in submitting a request to LAC for his service records. As always, thank you SO much.

I am writing on behalf of a friend who is interested in finding out about her Dad's service in WWII. He served with the Cape Breton Highlanders of Canada. She knows that he trained in London before being sent to Italy where he served with the Canadian Army there. My friend would have joined up in Sy...

That is interesting. As you say, I now have everything to submit my request which I will do this week. Will keep you posted of any results I receive.

Thanks again!!

Good morning! To update, have attached a copy of discharge papers for Maurice provided by family member. We now have a service number, unit, dates of service to include in our application to LAC for abbreviated service record. Very exciting!! Will keep you posted of our progress. Thanks again!! Have...

I have to admit that I'm amazed that you were able to source that ship's manifest through just a handwritten name. I've put out some feelers to family to determine if a...

I recall seeing throughout the years, a picture...

Will see what info I can obtain from family and get back. Thanks.

Correct. Very little. The only information I have as to the fact that he was 'in the army' was recollections of some family members, with pictures that I'm trying to track down, of him in uniform. I have no information of active service, or of which regiment he would have been with. Probably the sma...

I'm a little reluctant to submit a request for information for this relative, mainly because we have no information on him, including service number or unit that he served with. We also do not have a copy of his obituary or death certificate which might assist in a search for service records with LA...

LOL. Will do my friend.
