About this ebook
My enquiring mind wanted to know what my father did during WWII – from the time that he enlisted in March 1941 to serve both King and Country, and until the time he was demobbed in July 1945 and arrived back to his native Canada. During my research I was to discover that my father surreptitiously became one of the original members of a special band of brothers who became an integral part and paramount to the success of Operation Overlord.
