Canadian Signals Photos from 1943 to 1972
I have over 100 signals based photos of CMP vehicles and Radio equipment taken between 1943 and 1954 plus a few from 1972. These were taken by my late Father in Law, Al Kimpton, from when he joined in 1943 as a private to when he retired in 1972 as RSM of 703 Signals in Ottawa, Canada.
Within these photos are 30 images of various wireless sets and other equipment in training use in Ontario. Al was disabled from an injury as an infant and so could not initially join the military. However, he wrote personally to The Canadian Prime Minister, Mackenzie King, and persuaded him to change the rules so that disabled personnel could serve but were not permitted to serve overseas. I don't think it is possible to post these all at once so I will post them bit by bit with some extra description. The initial set of 5 is hopefully attached. and cover Connaught (near Ottawa) in 1943 (3 pics) plus the Wireless Ski Scheme in December 1943 (2 pics). |
