As I begin my trek to learn more of my parents history serving on Corvettes in the Atlantic convoys, I thought it best to see who else has an interest in this topic. I know only the bare minimum of my father's WWII experience but only a few years ago I knew much less of my grandfathers' in WWI, so here we go!
Off to the attic I headed to pull out the box and there was a movie K225, the Hollywood version of the HMCS Kitchener in the North Atlantic. An old scratchy VHS copy of a 1943 classic - but it looks like a good place to start.
Some links I found so far:
The Convoy Web The Ships of the Canadian Navy K225
I have now placed an order for the Military Records of both my parents, so it will be interesting to see what arrives from Ottawa. Other than that I have no idea how to track WWII service records and ship placements. Has anyone else been down this path??
