Dunn and surviving VC winner
The story of Lt Dunn and the repair of his grave was carried in issue #3 of Convoy (summer 2001) Sad to hear it has been vandalized/scavenged yet again.
Dare I say in countries where life is so little respected, its not surprising so little respect is given to the dead. An interesting story is coming up about an encounter with Canada's remaining VC winner "Smokey" Smith, in issue #14 and the story behind a famous Canadian photo of a WWII universal carrier in the same story. But as for Mr Smith V.C., I had the honour of saluting him from the cab of my 1944 C60 during Victory Spring in Ottawa.(.golly has it been that many years already!!!!) Anwyay, it was kinda neat cause he smiled and returned the salute.. note it was the correct Canadian WW-II salute, and not the modern one. ;-) Marc http://www.geocities.com/convoymagazine http://www.geocities.com/lga25ubique
