My father was with Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders from Winnipeg. Enlisted in 1939 @ 20 years old and returned in late 1945. He survived the Dieppe Raid but was wounded. Surived D Day but was wounded again. Married my mother in England in 1942 and she arrived in Canada with my eldest sister 1945 before my father was released from the army. He only talked of the funny things that happened during training in England but never mentioned anything about combat other than losing a couple of friends and that he had always hoped to return to Dieppe to find grave markers. He never made it. One of the few remaining WW II vets alive until his passing in 2007. Very proud to still have his medals and uniform with kilt. ( His wedding outfit)
