1. Postwar Photo - I was living out near he Vancouver Air Port. (Richmond) had five acres of property, Model A Coupe, and drove 15 miles to west side of Vancouver where Police Stables were located. Was a bit on the skinny side (still getting over my overseas "tour").
2. Gunners Photo - Guys with no forage caps are senior gunners in this group. Fellows with head gear joined before War started. One with X left hand is an old friend (still living) who I see at least once a month - and on 17th September every year - we visit the old Permanent Forts at MacAully. He and I are the only two left from this group of Gunners. I'm the one with II on his left hand. P-7521.
