Does anyone have any information on R/108316 Sgt Joseph John PINARD RCAF, I think he may have been an air gunner and served with No. 78 Squadron in 1942. Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks Daz

Many thanks, it all adds to the story. I find it odd though if that is the right chap that he was still a Sergeant and had not been promoted, given that he was operating with 78 Squadron in 1942. More digging to be carried out I think, but once agin thanks for the articles.
