Hello Everyone ...

You all probably are aware that I accompanied our own Master Sunray Geoff to Ottawa for the VE Day Events ... and visited where the people and vehicles were camped out ... I was stunned and happy to bump into Don Zorniak, the man from Royal Winnipeg Rifles Museum in Winnipeg who helped me much ... he was one to tell and confirm for me that my Uncle Eddie was executed, and where and how it happened, a couple or so years ago.

Don was there in WW2 dress ... PerthRegimental dress... but for the parade he wore Royal Winnipeg Rifles dress and I told him that i would be thinking of him as being my Uncle for the parade... just because it made me feel good to imagine that.

Don will be playing with the photo, cropping the soldier that I (and Mark Tonner) believe is Uncle Eddie, and trying to get "more sure" that its actually him... (though by now I'm SO convinced it's him as one of the faces that first twigged my memories)

I also hope to get some more names for some of the other soldiers in that photo. Remember, it was a group photo taken June 1943 in England of C Company RWR's.

Well ... very tired now... but wanted to say something about bumping into Don Zorniak ... that was really something for me! Small world!
