Canadian 19th Dental Corps Unit

[Darrell Zinck]

Hi Pam

The service record would not necessarily have exact location that your friend's Father served at. It would likely just name the dental unit and/or the higher formation his unit was attached to. It would be nice to have the file but the delivery times seem to be getting longer.

If he was 19 Dental Corps then he likely served at an airfield(s) in the UK.

...19 Dental Company, CDC, 6 (RCAF) Bomber Group, UK...

Here is a useful list of Canadian Dental Corps Units in WW2 from a very useful website:

Some background on the whole Canadian Dental Corps (CDC):

No.6 Group RCAF was part of RAF Bomber Command and its bases were mainly in Yorkshire, England:

I hope this is of some small help to you.

I have a book (or booklet?) on the CDC in WW2 somewhere but was unable to locate it just now. I will have a bit more time on the weekend and will have a look for it again. Do you have any personal information on your friend's Father? IE Regimental number, rank, name etc or are they all checked out in that area?

kind regards
Darrell
