RIP George Blackburn

Good morning Everyone,

On Herb Danter's request and on behalf of him, I gladly post this photo for him, of himself and George Blackburn at the Canadian War Museum (in 2005?)

Says Herb,

(at the Canadian War Museum) there's an area that shows the visitor the history and photographs of the Battle Of Normandy ( in which both George and I were in fighting alongside of each other, he as a FOO with the 4th Field Regiment RCA with the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division and me with the 23rd Self Propelled Field Reg't RCA in the 4th Canadian Armoured Division as a FOO Tech or O.P. Ack as we were called in those days
On the wall is a photograph of George when he was in Normandy and giving details of his exploits and beside his photo is one of General Crerar, the Commander In Chief of the Canadian Army.
Now to me I am going to treasure this photo because it's the perfect portrait of a real war hero.
I urge everyone who visits the War Museum that they visit this wall and pay tribute to this famous soldier.

Karmen
