Carmen,
just to further this along, My grandfatehr had served with the Canadian Artilery Survey wing. He did volunteer but was not allowed to go overseas because he needed strong glasses to see. He really wanted to go, mainly because all his buddies who went through training together went over. He really dispised the zombies becasue they were phisically able to go over but chose not to go.
But he did spend his time doing important things in Canada. On an interesting note, he did get volunteered while on leave, for the Pacific Force. He ended up spending some time in, I think, in Louisianna trainning and impressing the Yanks on how to survey and sight artillery fire.
