Hello Jim:
My name is Herb Danter and I am a former member of the 36th (Cobourg Ont.) Field Battery, 23rd Field Regiment (Self Propelled) RCA.
I didn't know your Uncle Doug personally but I do remember him being in the Regiment.
Here are the "e"mail addresses of two former members of the Regiment, Jim, that may be of some assistance.
John Wilkes of the 31st Battery at
jbwilkes@sympatico.ca.
and
Larry Holleran of the 83rd Battery at:
larryholleran@cogeco.ca
Good Luck in your quest and please contact me at
hdanter@rogers.com if I can be of further assistance in this regard and I am sure through the good offices of MLU they will help you get the war record of your Uncle from the respective archives in Ottawa.
Cheers
Herb Danter
