[Geoff Winnington-Ball (RIP)]

There's no such unit as the 'Ontario Tank Corp' in the Canadian establishment, nor is there the rank of 'Staff Sergeant' (it's an American rank). Nor were Canadians at Remagen, as far as I know; that was far south in the American sector, with the capture of the bridge there well-documented in both the book and the movie "The Bridge at Remagen".

Also, "Cannes" is in the south of France... he might have meant "Caen" in the Canadian sector, but if so, he would never have met Yanks nor been involved in the encirclement of the Cherbourg peninsula. Lots of discrepancies here, which may be, regretfully, attributed to his age.

We need his service records to establish his history.

Over to you.
