Those are great. I have my Grandpa's medals and a whole album with stuff like that in it. I never got to meet him he died 2 years before I was born. Thank you for those John.
It's funny how I have had family who we never saw since I was 6 and now I'm 40 who want those medals and album. I won't part with them as they never gave a crap until now.
Great photos!
My Grandpa ran a crew of women building Avro Ansons during the war, being a carpenter. Think he was a sergeant. I cant recall the details but he wasn't one to take any guff from anyone and I believe he punched out his superior one time and that was that, haha.
Got about a dozen Ansons in the back pasture. Not much left of the wooden ones, but the aluminum framed versions are in ok shape still.
Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who do not.
Thank you for sharing those. My grandfather was a fighter pilot, I never got to meet him... but I always think about what our previous generations and even our current men and women serving must endure in the fight against tyranny and evil.
Lest we forget.

Nice, thanks for sharing John. As the eldest male I inherited my paternal grandfather's WW2 medals including DFC, still in the case and cardboard box, letter of documentation plus campaign medals again still in tissue and cardboard, never mounted. Once he came home, that was the end of that.
Wow, love old pictures like that thanks for sharing
Amazing pictures! Thanks for giving the rest of us the oppertunity to see them!

By 2028 the government will realize citizens are outdated now that automation can extract the wealth for them with much less fuss and we'll all be processed into mechanical grease for the robotic grape-pickers on the trudeau family plantation.
