Hi Eddy ....for what its worth, if and when you find out whether the unit came from this side of the Atlantic or your side of the Atlantic, please let us all know! I am sure, but not 100% sure...that I am the only MLU Forum member born and raised in Welland, Ontario Canada (about 25 minutes West from Niagara Falls) for those not familiar with the city.
I am in touch with one of the journalists from the local paper and send him little stories about Welland and/or its military past, which he gets a delight in publishing. So if the unit served with The Lincoln and Welland Regiment, I would love to pass on some info to the newspaper(s) and create a bit of a buzz!
Who knows....if it was from Welland Ontario Canada, we could start the ball rolling with the history, crew and maybe even some photos of the unit during the war years. AND maybe, just maybe....people will help take up a collection of monies to help restore it.
Now see Eddy...Mid Life Crisis isn't all that bad....it's just exciting! See what you've got to look forward to.....Very Very Good luck in your venture and stir the pot boy, stir the pot....Robert Morrison, Vancouver Canada ( formally a Welland Boy)
Rob Love....get on to this, this is good Remembrance Day material....R
