Introduction: CANLOAN Remembrance project

Thank you very much for this……this will shorten my research time immensely. I’m on the road right now, but will get at it again in the next few days, and your list will help me find the nominal roles much quicker (than the “looking at 5000 pages” thing I was doing)

I can send you higher Rez copies of the info for you, If you like. Let me know and I’ll send them to you via the e-mail you posted on your first thread post

I can also give you links to the original files in LAC if you wish, the link will lead you right to the specific ship files. The actual files are still huge for many of the ships (especially those that carried thousands of troops) but only if you want them. LAC files (or Heritage Canadian) haven’t any search engine, so to find info you do have to look “page by page”. Again just let me know

Cheers

Wonderfull document! I've made a file folder for each CANLOAN, this will be a great addition.
Do you know if there are after action reports on the Cameron Bridge attacks, from his unit, somewhere?

 

These found on the ANDES, sailing 31 Mar 1944, Convoy A.T. 104A

Thank you! It's nice to have the actual evidence of their departures to Brittain! If you wouldn't mind you may email them to me in higher quality, if possible?

 

Will do

Cheers

EDIT: All pages sent

 

Thank you, I've received them! This helps a lot as I see a few name who I thought either went overseas earlier or later.
