Default Thanks for sharing Dads Photos

Hi Bob

Thanks for posting those pictures, our club newsletter has a regular feature called "Dads Photos" were we run photos from peoples family albums. There is something special about pictures like yours that have a personal connection to the people in them and who took them.

Cheers Phil

Hi Bob;

The answer regarding what artillery tractor the 5th Medium was issued with in Italy might be contained within their War Diary, which can be obtained from Library & Archives Canada by means of an inter library loan.

Microfilm Reel T-15911-15912 covers the period for September 1942 to April 1944.

Library & Archives Canada reference:

Reference: RG24 , National Defence , Series C-3 , Volume 14395 , Reel T-15911-15912
Serial : 507 , Access code: 90
File Title: 5th Medium Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery
Outside Dates: 1942/09-1944/04
Finding Aid number: 24-60

Cheers
