I just did a search and found the name the Ontario Regiment(tank). This has to be the one, I called him up and he said to me "that's what I told you", yeah sure. I found them on regiments.org, and checked the deployment history and everything corresponded to what he told me. From Caen to Nijmengen. He even named several of the small towns and battles that were fought along the way. He also told me that at the end of the war, his commanding officer offered a promtion to Chief Warrant Officer if he stayed in the Army of Occupation, but he turned it down to come home. He also gave me his serial number, is there anywhere I could go and give that number online to find out anymore?
