Hi Gang! I am new here today from Canada. Son of Royal Canadian Navy folk and not a service person myself, although Military History is my hobby. I found out about this site from Spidge, as he is looking for some help from "the other colonies" and I do try to help out when I can.

I spend most of my time tracking the Canadian Expeditionary Force in WWI but I have a lot of information and have read a lot about WWII. Problem is, limited WWII records are available in Canada. As a Navy brat I grew up learning everything about Convoys and Corvettes. My Dad was on convoy duty and my Mom was the Paymaster in Halifax. She withheld his pay until he took her out on a date. She won!

I will watch and learn and assist as I can on matters that need input from Canada. I was pleased to learn of this site as the WWII Forum sites I have visited failed to gain my interest. This looks like a good find!
