Default Further info re: Camp Norway...Lars

Lars: I just ran across the following from a book titled: Battle of Britain, Then and Now, published by "After the Battle" press.

...p.173

"By the old stone gate of the North Weald (RAF WW2 fighter station) stands a stone monolith which was erected to commemorate the Norwegians who flew and died while serving on the station. Unveiled on 19 June 1952, by the Crown Princess of Norway, Princess Astrid, it could equally be a tribute to the pilots of all nationalities who died "in ops". For after all, they were all brothers in arms".

Thought you might like to include this anecdote in your memorabilia of "Little Norway, Toronto".

Regards

Jon
