grew up frequently asking my Dad questions about his wartime experiences, to no avail. I could only get a few words from him and never a complete sentence.
As the years passed, I was able to gather a few details of his war experiences, but only on Remembrance Day, November 11th, when he was prone to reminisce a bit. Most of the time, he kept his stories to him. Forty five years later I learned he was keeping an oath of secrecy, a fifty year gag order with the Canadian Government.
I had ambitions of joining the Canadian Navy, as I was a sea cadet for most of my teenage years. Today, I am a Systems Management Consultant in my own business, MultiNet Marketing. I am married, with five grown-up children, three young women and two men. One of my sons has completed a tour in Afghanistan as an infantryman reservist with the Regina Royal Rifles. He is now in Logistics with the regular Canadian Forces and completing his second tour in Afghanistan. The military may have passed me by, but not my flanks (father and son).
Today, I am a certified journalist and have published various articles in sportswriting. Much of my work was creating technical manuals for telecommunication companies. I am writing this book to help explain another hidden chapter of World War II history.view less
