Hmm, seems there's more interest in the 2 CAGRA in the UK & NL than here !!!

Nigel F Evans has a good web site on the AGRA and touches on the Canadian Artillery here..

My father was also in the Canadian Artillery on 25 pounders..started the war in '39 and ended up a SSgt in '45..
I still have his papers around somewhere..
too old with flat feet and a hernia to go overseas..ended up in the reserve serving in Saint John NB dueling with the German submarines at night that would surface just off the harbour mouth ,to recharge their batteries..looking for a fat ..slow convoy to decimate..
