Default much obliged

Mr. Tonner:


I was only vaguely aware of these sources and was certainly not aware that they could be loaned via the Toronto Public Library, which has been a great resource as it stands.

I can't thank you enough! To date, I have been using a variety of sources including 4 PLDG regimental history, Nicholson's "Canadians In Italy" and anything else I can lay hands on.

Though I marched under the colours of our shared regiment and knew several of the Second War honours to be from the Mediterranean, I confess it was not until I discovered that I had a relative serve there that I became curious.

Now, you might argue I am obsessed (ask my wife).

Anyhow, thanks and I will get right on this....

On another note, I was quite impressed to hear that you left the service with skills you could truly use. Civvy street is a frightening place and any jump you can get on these awful people is well worth the effort. I loved my parents, until I found out THEY were civilians.

All the best to you and yours.
