Thanks Geoff, good info. I was reading more and it seems that Ralph was with BCoy for any ones info.
I looked on the War Graves Commision site for M.A. Cram Rfm and it seems he made it through the war. I wonder if anyone here knows who he is or was.
Carmen, I tend to respond to the topic more than one person but its all open for comment so fire away. A significant portion of the fellow posting here are ex military or work closely with them so they are more comfortable with platoon strengths and companies and the , somewhat confusing to we civilians, inner workings and codes etc. I am sure Geoff will protest that "it's really very simple" :-) but we know. All that being said I avoid being too specific on units because I'll probably get it wrong.
As for the lake thing Spencer lake is 59 49 n by 101 49 which means its near the MB NWT/Nunavut border ...way up there. So I wouldn't be surprised if Smith Lake is up there too...but you never know.
