[Zip-in-Z]

My Dad's didn't serve he was 17 & stayed on the farm with my Grandfather, his older brother my Uncle Gus enlisted on Feb 5th, 1943 at the age of 20 & served 3.5 years overseas in Regiment H1962, rank Private - Canadian Medical/Dental Corps.

My Uncle made it home and is still alive today in Winnipeg at a Personal Care home in MiddleChurch, at the age of 97 going 98 in January & shooting for 100. My cousin was unable to see him today because of covid, she said last year when he was in his own house they reminisced about his time in Belgium, Holland, England, France, Scotland, Wales & Portugal. He took out his medals and shined them up, as well as a German Dagger with "All For Germany" carved in German on the blade that was given to him by a British soldier who picked it up in battle.

I lost two other uncles, we will remember them.
