Hi Hanno
Good idea. Faces of the Second World War. A library and Archives Canada (LAC) effort: "...This database features photographs of men and women who served in the Canadian Forces during the Second World War. Taken from the Department of National Defence (DND) collection at Library and Archives Canada, these photographs depict military life during the Second World War...". http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discove...world-war.aspx regards Darrell Last edited by Darrell Zinck; 18-11-19 at 15:58. |

Hanno, this list is very useful but does anyone have a link for Canadian Military photos, as I have not found a searchable archive online yet?

Quote:
November 1942 was the third time Bardia changed hands, so there is a possibility that the truck had been captured earlier by the Germans and lost again at Bardia, but it is certainly of Allied origin.
