I have a facebook page that I created for my father's wartime information. I found a photo album in 2016 in the basement storage of my parent's home in Kitchener, ON. Dad died in Kitchener in October 1981. This photo album had been in our basement since we moved there in 1973 in what we called the 'crawl space'. Many things were put in there when we moved and I only found them in the past year. Oh the questions I have.

I know he was a mechanic, and once a jeep or other vehicle did some type of backfire and his arm caught fire. There was no scarring that I could see, but it was memorable enough for him to tell us the story. I hope someone can use the information on the facebook page to connect their own wartime dots. Wish he was still here.
