I became interested back about 7 - 9 years ago when i was 9 or 10, due to some games i was playing as i had no idea what really happened in the North African campaign. Unfortuneately, my grandpa passed away when i was 8.

My grandpa was a Bombadier and a Navigator from 1943 - 1945 on the RAF (maybe Canadien RAF too). He moved around lots of times, different squadrons etc. He mostly bombed Industrial and Oil targets in Europe, and helped strategicaly bomb the Rhine during the crossings.

His future wife (my grandma) had three cousins in the Canadien Army. I am not sure what branch, but three weeks after she last saw them all together, they were all KIA.

I have had no oppurtunity to speak to any Vet about the war, and have no knowledge of what happened to the men who served with my grandpa. When i get home, i will look at his pictures and log book to get details on where he served. Maybe someone here has information on them?
