My father came home on the Ile de France as well. I was home recently and my mother and I went through several of Dad's photo albums and there was a post card with the Ile de France on it and Mom said that it was the ship dad came back on. Dad was seconded to the RAF in the earlier days in England (radar technician) and went to N Africa then finished in Italy, he serviced the radar systems mostly on the Night Fighter Beaufighters (RCAF) in the Med. I believe that he sailed from Italy to Halifax. I will have to ask Mom the next time I'm talking to her.
