Thank you.. Dad was 31 then, a WO2 in the RCAF British Commonwealth Air Training program. He received an Atlantic Star for his 22 crossings. June 6, 1944: 107 days since dad lost his youngest brother (WO Neil Macintyre Stewart, Air Gunner, 428 Squadron, R/161156) over the Netherlands. Paris, ON. Mom RCAF-WD. A million in uniform. Imagine.
