Looking for Garry Shipton, Canada
Hi all,
Does anyone know the current whereabouts of MLU member Garry Shipton? I believe he lives in the Montreal, Quebec, Canada area as he is (was) a member of the 306 (Maple Leaf) Wing Concert Band (which I have contacted through http://306wingconcertband.com/en/home.html). I would like to get in touch with him regarding his father, Corporal William James "Jimmy" Shipton SD 91545, who was Section commander with the RCASC in May 1945, leading a convoy of trucks into occupied territory to supply the starving population with much-needed food - see pic below and http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1081 Any tips and hints are welcome! Thanks, Hanno Cpl WJ Shipton - Faust - Harley Davidson - 182.jpg

This could explain it Hanno but I'm not 100% sure.

Paul, David,
I'm sorry to hear that - thanks for informing me. He had not been on MLU Forum since May 2007. I wanted to tell him about our plans for Operation Faust in 2020. Given his father's involvement in 1945, I think he would have liked to hear about it. Rest in Peace, Garry! Hanno PS: I have moved this thread to his father's tribute.
