On closer inspection of these records he passed a driver class B test in August 1942. On another page it says "qualified 3rd class drivers" in April 1942. He was "reclass driver mechanic (MV) in August 1944 while in hospital after hitting the land mine. His progression of drivers qualifications goes; driver 3rd class; driver B; driver mechanic C; driver mechanic "MV" C.
When wounded he was in 15 Canadian General Hospital and 5 Canadian General Hospital. I've seen reference of 5 CGH at Catania, Sicily late in 1943 and 15 CGH in Algeria at the same time but would they have still been located there by May to August in 1944? At one time he told me that he was at a hospital in Italy.
