Sgt. James Arthur Walton Quinn MID
Royal Canadian Army Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders
from:Cornwall, Ontario
Walt Quinn was my stepfather, and he was always quiet about his service.
I had to go to Veteran's Affairs to dig up his service number, and then talked to the few remaining members still here from his unit, as well as searched the SD&G Highlanders records.
He served in Italy, France, Germany.
Walt returned from the war with severe emotional issues that he struggled with for the rest of his life. Upon returning from the war, he was employed as a master mechanic at the Howard Smith Paper Mill in Cornwall until he retired in 1968.
