Hi Mike.
The picture was taken in the spring of 1943 on East 13th Ave in Vancouver. This is where my grandparents lived. It looks pretty scruffy by the road but back then this was almost the boonies. Dad had come over from Esquimalt on leave.
I believe he was a PO (cook). There are some pictures of the galley on the link you provided on the Princes. He missed sailing with the David to the Atlantic when she was refitted for D-Day as he had to have his appendix removed so after he was transferred to a minesweeper in Prince Rupert.
